    Only reason it was cancelled is b/c they noticed that it was going to be free for so many ppl. Again, the mighty dollar rules.

    Lunatik, I just wanted to let you know so that you don't lose any sleep at night. I got mine today. Ummmm...nana nana poo.....poo. ;D

    All joking aside, I got mine and I tested my tap water and I got 89 tds. My spectrapure tds meter attached to my RO/DI unit reads zero on my incoming tap water. Interesting.

    ok my meter arrived today and before i display my results i want to give some back ground.5gallon tank with 3 damsels and a peppermint shrimp for 3 yrs.29 gallon reef with dwarf lionfish and cleaner shrimp 2yrs.55 gallon reef with soft,lps,and sps thriving and 3 clowns,1 whitetailed dwark angel,and a chromi.every one of these tanks has used my tap water for fill,top off,and water changes exclusively.the tests all 5 said my tap water is at 534ppm.i have to wonder if all this rodi reverse stuff is a crock or what.i mean my tanks have always been great,and i gave them long enough for all these suposed toxic minerals to build up and crash my tanks.i'm left confused now.
