Sorry Biff can't help you much on that.I heard John say 8'' before.Start high like 12'' and work your way down until heat becomes an issue.

Reeffreak has some good advice. 12" first then work your way down. Gotta love RODI systems!! One of my friends in high school wrote in my yearbook that when the world gets low on water, i would be the one to figure out how to turn the urine of onesself or ones close friend into drinkable water. THAT day is way far off but an RODI system would be perfect! lol

Hmmm I used my TDS meter last night to test out my newly made RODI water. Tap water reads 378 ppm. My newly made RODI water reads 12 ppm. Any thoughts? Is 12 ppm okay to use in my tank?

I for one appreciate your emotions. I like to see those who are able and willing to share pieces of themselves with others. It takes courage to do so. It is much easier to hide behind an attitude of apathy or gruffness than to own and deal with emotion. Kudos to you Biff. Best of luck with your tank.

Update!
RO system is finally in:
My crew started to put up the lights last night:
My crew was seriously SLACKING. Three trips to Lowe's...and four hours later, look at the progress they've made:
This morning, they were up and running. Wow, those are bright!!!
Today's project is putting together all the PVC plumbing for the sump. More updates to come!

The RODI unit is not attached to the inside of the sink because it's going to be moved once the tank gets set up.

Neal says to tell Reeffreak, "Sarah is doing a lot of work. In fact, I took a nap today and Sarah took the initiative to start the PVC plumbing for the sump on the tank all by herself. And I only woke up when Sarah could not cut the PVC on her own and asked for help. Otherwise, she did an excellent job measuring and glueing while I slept." That's what Neal says. So there.

There is life outside the hobby Biff, we all know that and can certainly relate. Sometimes the decisions we make are hard--it's even harder to share those decisions and emotions with your peers/friends. Not many people can remain on such good terms as you and Neal in that situation. That says a lot about the character/human qualities that both of you have.
While the rest of the fellas might be teasing you about thong pics in the "tub", I'll have to take the higher ground. Not because I wouldn't enjoy the pics -- but because if my better half found me looking at fish tanks and scantily clad women at the same time -- she'd figure out a way to fold me in half and stuff me into my 30g tank. :shock:
Looking good. Keep posting!!
