I'm filling up my tank at the moment, I have a 100gpd RODI unit. I ran a 100ft 1/2 hose from the RODI unit under the sink to my tank and it's 3/4 of the way up.

I have a 120g display and a 45g sump. Is it safe if I go to bed and check on it in 6 hrs when I wake up?

It all depends on your water pressure and water temperature. If you have 60 psi and 77 degree water it will make 100 gallons in a 24 hour period, if either is less it will make less etc. Look on Buckeye Field Supplies Sponsors Forum for a cool calculator that tells you what to expect based on temp and pressure.

Oh man, that sucks! Never knew about the BAR forum! :D Thanks for pointing it out! I'm setting up a 180 soon. Have you checked out Aquarium Concepts? They just moved to Dublin.

BAR forum (http://www.bareefers.org/)

Here's RC own BAR forum (http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=298)

I haven't been to aquarium concept, I tore my tank down to remodel the house and I ended up lagging for 6 months b4 finally putting it up.

So what are you planning for? Are you going SPS or softies?
