just a quick update, Pete has been exiled to the sump.. i'm tired of him bullying Repeat.. and since i paid for Repeat, well..... it was just dumb luck, i went in after him with my net, but i just ended up chasing him around all the rocks... then just when i was about to give up, he cornered himself and i snagged him....
oh, and i reworked all the plumbing on the tank tower.. took all the flex hoses out on the drains of the tanks and went to all rigid PVC... better flow, less PITA... also, swapped the pumps i had on there, so now the 1500GPH pump just recirculates the water in the salt mixing tank, the ATO is now gravity fed from the RO storage tank, and the 250GPH pump is used to lift the RO up to the mix tank... Also added an RO test port, a RO "tap" so if i need a couple gallons of RO i can just open a valve and it goes right into a bucket.. like if i do a water change on the fresh tank, or if i need it in the radiator in a car i'm working on.... easy access...
