    For anyone with a pumped ro unit and is worried about how long you can leave them on for had mine on for the last 5 days for 15 hours a day, I kept checking the pump and psu they remained cool to touch this could be because the time of year and its all attached to the metal frame of the ro unit.

    Got the tank filled water sits around 10mm under the brace bars and drops down around 50mm when the pumps off. The sump ( cheers Alf) is plenty big enough and could take around another 75 ltrs.

    Tested the ppm in the tank after flushing it all through and its only at 002ppm so ive drained around 1/2 the water from the tank and now adding the salty goodness ( cheers macca ).

    Looking forward to get it all set up, Just have the temp controller to wire up now and a halide stand to buy.


    Heater controller finally came the two double sockets on the top are ran of the controller, The two to the left are cooling and two to the right are heating
