I didn't want to break their hearts so I left it alone.. I was going to say something like "I think they're heading to library for storytime next" but didn't...

Flying out tomorrow so trying to dbl check everything.,...
found out my RODI was at 4ppm because its been awhile since I changed the filters...
guess that attributes to my algae issue. I replaced everything so am good now at 0 ppm.

reset my Phyto growout. dumped a ton of the two types pods in my tanks and fuge and reset their tanks too.

Dude! You were so close. I would have taken a little ride and bought you a beer.
We come down every year around this time. My in-laws have a time-share. Next year! My wife gave me the go ahead for next year :D when I told her I just wanted to spend time with her and the kids this vacation. ;)
Laying the groundwork sometimes takes time.

Not too shabby for the week. guess I need to replenish my Kalk. 1/4 of my DI was used in the 2 weeks since I replenished it. Very little algae since last time so I am comfortable assuming that my RODI was the issue with my algae growth. Guess I'll be redoing my source water filtration.
