911, I hope this is the right place

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.

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.

Ok' date=' now I am starting to feel bad. So do you just need water to last you until Friday when you have a ride to get some.[/quote']

 

Yes just until I can get to the lfs on friday I'll pick up enough ro water at the store to make it through to Jan. at which point x-mass and B days are over for the most part and I can get my filter. I'm a block up from burlling game fredmeyers. I'll give anyone willing to drop some off a little water a pm w/ exact directions

Jody was going to sponsor someone. You sound like a great candidate. Might want to look into that.

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)
