I find your lack of faith disturbing. :P :'( :D

Detroit Lions Superbowl 48 champs... you heard it here first. :)

Disappointed I couldn't make it. Curse you work equipment failure. At least there will be more meetings.

Without the bipass it's a small pain, but... Depressurize the system by making a batch of water and turning off the source water. Open the contain that holds the DI cartridge and remove it. Replace the now empty container and make water as you normally would. This is assuming you cannot...

It was kinda talked about already, but the reason to test pre-DI is that a new DI filter can absorb quite a bit on it's own and can mask a dieing membrane or used up prefilters.

How about increasing flow? It's not a solution, but more flow means less places for the slime to take hold.

Good luck. I really recommend keeping a food log. http://www.sparkpeople.com/ is a great site with a large database of foods. Slowly cut food and portion sizes down. If you currently eating a 5000 calorie diet, then going down to a "bread and water" diet won't stick. Neither will any of the...

Soda ash, Baking soda, and baked baking soda all have temporary effects on pH. pH has a ton of factors that play into it, like the amount of CO2 in the water for example. oh and :o at 7.35.

neither imo. Time and proper water quality is all that is needed.

Unless you need a GPS for while walking I would recommend a Garmin Nuvi. Most cell phones that have the capability of GPS navigation normally have a fee of some kind. Most smartphones require a dataplan and verizon charges a monthly or a la carte fee for their dumbphones.

I've done 3 days with lights out with success. My hair algae problems are going away quickly now that I took my eggcrate frag rack out fwiw.

hmmm... I'll be halfway there in Montgomery during that time.

Driverless led setups led the way to ones with drivers. Safer and more consistent setups. It y'all go with Cree leds I recommend http://www.etgtech.com/. No matter who you purchase through try to get led specs and what "bin" you will receive. Different bins have a different color and power...

Highly recommend going through these two threads. Ton of good info on design, possible pitfalls, and places to order from... http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=186982 http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=200335 Also going to throw these out there too...

Good, because I like White Castles. Bad because Philly Cheesesteaks did not live up to the hype or the price.
