    Its easy just turn on your RO/DI to fill up the aquarium and forget about it. When you hear the tank overflowing turn off RO/DI, mop up the floor (bonus: clean floor now), siphon off extra water in tank, Check salinity, spend two days getting salinity right again. Best part? Didn't have to make water up ahead of time!

    I feel like an idiot lol. Just frustrated, time for an ATO I guess.

    At first I didn't realize you were being sarcastic and thought "this doesn't sound like a very effective way..." I just got out of school and its friday my brain is fried.

    Jake,

    You're not an official reefer unless you've done this at least once. Welcome to the club. ;D
