      Lol...I just made the same note. Thankfully my system is in the garage.

  2. Installed my BRS RODI unit today. One of the easiest plumbing installtions ever.

      Same here, I was amazed at how easy it was. Also how sturdy and well built everything was.

      Mounting hardware/brackets are heavy gauge. I'm happy with the purchase and cranked out 15g of water tonight. :)

      if you want to speed up the process, you can buy an extra membrane.

      I was just looking at those tonight on seaandreef. I was thinking it would be a nice thing to have in a clam display tank to keep worms out.

      Mine probably eat some bristle worms as I see them from time to time with white bristles poking off their lips but I still have tons of Bristle worms in my tank along with spaghetti and other worms so they aren't the voracious worm eaters online might make them out to be. They are a little aggressive with each other even as a pair in my 180g but they aren't towards other fish.

  6. Status is working!

  7. Landed a new job today! Yay me!

      I got one of these years back for my first tank. Lasted a few day's until I noticed it was only "decorating"itself with just the most expensive stuff I had in there. lol

  15. My gorgs are back fully open again! :D Yay!

    1. Teresa
