Kimberlee Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Okay I think I can now say the dumbest thing I've ever done in this hobby is trusting the Portland water supply. I haven't gone out of my way to advertise the fact that I've been running off tap. I know how most of you feel about that. I even knew why. I still did it, mostly because of expense. With the changes portland has made to the water I need to get a filtration unit I will. In the mean time(because the filter isn't happening until after x-mass) I need to do a WC. Without a car I can't bring back 15gal a week on the bus. I did just realize though that by friday I can get a ride to the LFS and just get all I need for the month in 1 trip. Thats still friday though. Tank is starting to go south now. I need help getting water here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerv503 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Sorry to hear that, yeah the most important factor in reefing is the WATER! The first thing you should buy when starting up a reef aquarium is an RO/DI unit! I can give you some free RO/DI water but you would have to come and get it.

Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk Funny you should say that Jesse. When he first offered that I was thinking her and her sister Samantha would make great candidates. They still would need a way down to Salem though and as I have sadly whined about I cannot go. Very awesome of you Jackaninny to drop the water off!(clap)(clap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
