[MizTanks]

Ok~Hey everyone~Jamie want an ro/di unit for Christman!!!!

[igot2gats]

If that's not a red flag for a fish store!

Yeah...that is NUTS!

[handlevandal]

I have a friend in Crystal Falls who has to travel to Marquette for the closest fish store

[MizTanks]

Nuts isn't the word for this LFS~

[Cash]

There is atleast one LFS near me that uses tap. And it is a well know store

[jimsflies]

You shoudl suggest to your LFS they should use RO...then they could sell it as a service and make money...

[MizTanks]

Hey, tell em to get in touch with me~I go through there all the time!!!

[handlevandal]

She said she'd rather go to Wisconsin to Foster and Smith

[MizTanks]

dont blame her

[whitetiger61]

ok im out for te night..have a great night

[jimsflies]

I think you should save your money and just get one Jamie. A few weeks of not buying livestock and you'll have the funds.

[MizTanks]

You wouldn't believe the suggestions I've made to them~including stopping the employees from stealing my orders!!!!

[jimsflies]

See you later Rick. Get to feeling better.

[handlevandal]

She says at least she can get everything she needs at once when they make the trip

I'll let her know that she has a local yooper who's working on a nano. She'll be glad tohear that.

I couldn't agree more. If you're in this for the longhaul...which I know you are....it'll be one of the best investments you'll ever make...seriously.

[MizTanks]

Yea, I was looking online~found one for 127.00

[handlevandal]

Well I've got to work in the early am so I'm out for the night. This was great. I'm looking forward to another one.

[MizTanks]

That's doable~with my size tank it'll last forever!!! lol

[igot2gats]

you'll thank yourself over & over. it's just one of those things you don't want to spend money on, but have to force yourself to do it....kinda like going to the dentist....

[jimsflies]

Thanks for chatting with us Jackie. Have a good evening.

[igot2gats]

piece Jackie

[handlevandal]

I spent a week thinking "why didn't I do this before" after I finally got one - I'd been hauling those five gallon jugs to fill two nanos and a 55 gallon tank

[jimsflies]

Buy RO/DI unit is about as much fun as buying a refractometer...except 3 times as much. :duh:

[MizTanks]

Jim I think I found my phos source~lotion from my hands

[handlevandal]

G'night all

[jimsflies]

I'm going to need to finally buy one with my tank upgrade.

[igot2gats]

what size are you going to, Jim?

[jimsflies]

whoa...lotion on hands. That's not good at all!

[jimsflies]

I'm going to a 93 gallon cube (30x30x24). :) :bounce: :)

[igot2gats]

yeah, wear some gloves if you have to have lotion on your hands....

[igot2gats]

Sweet....customized I assume? 93 seems pretty original

[MizTanks]

I wish there was a scholorship fund for newbs, lol.

[Cash]

I wish there was a scholorship fund for newbs, lol.

I would vote for that lol

[jimsflies]

Its a Marineland tank...so not too custom. I'd never seen one before yesterday though.

[igot2gats]

Alrighty peoples....I'm outtie 5000. Piece, peace, & peas out.

[MizTanks]

JIM! Can I barrow your old one? I promise to give it back when I'm done!

[Sir Patrick]

Fish doctors ypsi has one, overlows and all. Check them out for a price comparison

[Sir Patrick]

Later got2gats

[jimsflies]

Jamie...too funny!

Did you happen to get the price Chris?

Later gats!

[jimsflies]

Well have we beat up the water parameters enough? We can move our chat to the chat box if we're done?

[Sir Patrick]

Cant recall- but if memory searves me right- its tank and stand, overflows and dont know what else for under $1000- thinking more is included, but cant recall

[MizTanks]

For now, yup! Til tomorrow anyways~I realized I know more today then I did a month ago~now that's way cool

[Sir Patrick]

I still have a couple about po4 and nitrates and sps (and possibly other coral) growth

[MizTanks]

I'll do what I can to help Sir! LOL

[jimsflies]

Good Jamie. Glad the site has been a good resource for you.

What you got Chris...I'm no expert...we're loosing some of our gurus.

[Sir Patrick]

If memeory searves me a certain level of the 2 can stop growth- is this correct, and what is the level?

[MizTanks]

This sight has kept me sane for the last month~and I mean that seriously!!!

[jimsflies]

I've never heard of certain level stopping growth. The ideal is obviously zero. But haven't personally heard of a level that is definitively going to stop growth.

[Sir Patrick]

Hmmm... maybe I am mistaken. Gonna look into it.

[jimsflies]

If you find some info, post it in a thread so we can check it out.

Wished I knew more for you.

[Sir Patrick]

No problem- will post the info- for sure.

On to the chat box??

[Cash]

I think I have taken in enough for tonight

[jimsflies]

sure. Thanks guys. It's been another good chat.

Thanks to Rick for suggesting the topic!

[Sir Patrick]

Hey cash- meet me in the chat box- gotta answer you PM

[Cash]
