what is your RO water usage?

ah, ok that makes sense!

It may seem, the 50 gallons per month other is a bit high, but there is a reason. My salt water reserve tank holds 70 gallons of saltwater that Apex pulls from for the auto daily water changing. In the plumbing, I have a purge line (trap) that collected sediment from the salt and precipitates of calcium. I flush that line every few days and that uses several gallons per time. it uses up some water, but keeps the stored saltwater cleaner.

I just let them keep growing when they are like that. Don’t like to cut any flesh

You make some really good points! It almost sounds like "free shipping" shouldn't exist at all.

One piece of the puzzle that hasn't been talked about is the "value" of engagement. R2R is a great platform for vendors to attract people into a thread and get them to talk about your product, which ultimately drives revenue. After all, if people are engaged, they are more likely to make purchases. Additionally, higher engagement keeps the thread visible to the R2R audience and draws in new shoppers. Certainly, businesses in other industries spend money to stay relevant and draw in new customers but this cost is usually baked into the cost of the products. This begs the question of why the costs of the games, prizes, and discounts aren't baked into the overall cost of the products so that they don't risk hurting the vendor.

What do you think about the "value" of engagement?

There isn't nor will there be an issue of engagement and posts in sbb sale threads with or without changes to the sales rules. This is where most of us meet up and hang regardless and will continue to be.

Just some more quick pictures while the flow was off!

what is your RO water usage?

Here is a pictorial of the system. RO/DI reservoir in the garage with pump for water transfer to the saltwater storage and to cycle the saltwater 24/7. The two rolling Brute bins are to collect the refuse water and use it for plants. The black line that looks like it’s coming out of the RO tank actually comes through the wall from Apex to remove saltwater from the DT.

Saltwater reservoir is in a closed behind the DT with a line running to Apex for AWC.

Yes..I know..I was being sarcastic. I have a todds torch that is like 14 heads that is still connected by flesh to about 1 inch above the plug on the main stalk. There is no fragging torches in my tank for this reason.

So you put a bunch of work in. Do you feel more in love with your tank again? It looks absolutely beautiful! Well done. Also, is this your normal camera? Those shots are amazingly sharp. Looks great.

Looks pretty good! I have a similar setup but my storage containers are only 65gal and I have 50ft of tube between the water and the tank. I also do AWC changes daily.

I bought this house with my tank set up in mind. Tank is on the other side of the wall from the RO reservoir. All the operating equipment is behind the tank.
