I got both items on your filterguys links (the third unit and ro bypass). I don't know much about purely H2O, but I think melev (www.melevsreef.com) sells RO/DI units also.

I have looked at melves but it cost alot more than the filter guys. For your drinking water do you sotre it come where? Or when you need it you just make it.

Well, I'll probably just make it when i need it. I have two 5g water jugs, so I'll probably always have one full.

Oops got the price on the filter guys mixed up with the price on Purely H2o
http://www.purelyh2o.com/product.php...cat=249&page=1
But with melves it is already set up for drinking.

It seems to be going pretty quickly. I'd say 5 gallons in about two hours or so. Maybe a little less time, I'm not too sure just yet!

Thanks!

Using a board leaves less holes in the wall. I have 4 holes the the board, but two holes in the wall.

Well everyone, wish me luck. I'm going to do the changeover tomorrow. I'm excited, but worried a tad. We'll see.

IF ANYONE HAS ANY LAST SUGGESTIONS, NOW IS THE TIME TO CHIME IN!!!!!! Seriously, though, if there are any 'key' things I should remember for tomorrow, please let me know!

Will do! Oh, and I guess you'll be sticking around to learn from my mistakes! That'll be $100, which can be forwarded to my address.

The only way to get this thread on topic is more action pictures of the wife. Bring on the gloves and mask.

Have her do some water tests.

Regarding your tank move, have you read the tank moving article on my site yet?

I did, but it has been a while - actually I have my tank pulled out five feet from the wall and the new one in it's place. I'll post some pics soon.

And let me see what I can do about pics of the wife - DESPERATE TIMES CALL FOR DESPERATE MEASURES!
