Our system is about 500g with a sump in the basement. We plumbed our tank into our waste line so that when we need to do a water change we just drain 100g from the basement system and replace it with well mixed SW. We store the 100g in 2 55g drums during the water change and have another 55g...

Ralph is king of the disappearing pictures. They've probably been replaced with Ed's pictures of his basement!

It is the industry standard, we all do it. But you shouldn't then expect a zero TDS.

Nerds of a feather, I guess. We got the same book! Congrats on the great picture, Brian.

Re: 2008 Meeting Schedule Yeah, those central slots fill up pretty quickly! We'll keep you in mind if we lose a host during the year.

Re: 2008 Meeting Schedule Excellent! Thanks!

Re: 2008 Meeting Schedule Ahh. Since Jose was willing to have a meeting (and he's North), we'll put him in and you can pick a spot in 2009 calendar. We try to keep the meetings in their respective areas so that everyone has the opportunity to attend a meeting close to home. Thanks for letting...

Re: 2008 Meeting Schedule Anyone in our Southern third interested in hosting a meeting? We still need south hosts for February (which is nearly here!) and November. Please let me or Francis (Sinkingbeach) know if you're interested in hosting. Thanks!

And for a buck, most of them salt it for you...

In our last house, we got water in the basement all the time. We had a drain system put in the floor. Guys came with jackhammers and dug a trench around the entire basement (of course you'd just need to do the fish room). After that they just poured new concrete. Seems like the worst part would...

Ok, I did some digging... Try THIS

Sorry, I wish I had some advice for you, but I have no idea! Good luck!

Hey, what ever happened to moving the tank? Did you get it home?

French drain around the perimeter of the fish room is the only way I can think of to protect the rest of the basement. Preferably with a sump pump in one of the corners to have an exit path for the water you dump on the floor. That and a water sensor near the wall to the main room so you're...

Welcome back, Greg. Glad to hear the tank fared well through the storm. May you all have a healthy, happy, safe and prosperous new year!

Great job, gang! And thanks for the pics Ralph! Glad someone captured the day.

Re: 2008 Meeting Schedule Great, Jose... We'll pencil you in for January 2009!

I hope a few more can make it! I'm sure Mike could do it alone, but it would make me nervous!

Congrats on bringing him back from the brink!

Pickles will be available at the January meeting for the winners. No shipping available on those! :)
