Do I get karma? 
J/K
Just stopping by. Do you have any LR in the new tank to start cycling? I don't think it can cycle without something for the bacteria to live in/on. I could be wrong but I thought that was the reason for the LR. Maybe I missed something.
Looks like things are coming along nicely. Getting water in the tank is one of the most exciting parts.
I can't believe you ran through a DI resin already. You will need to keep lots around for replacements in the future.

Well I made 45g in two days. I think regular maintenance and top off will only eat up 45g in 6 weeks. Still , if you look at the price per gallon with the resin vs LFS RO/DI water I'm ahead about $0.73 per gallon.
I do not have anything in the tank other than the dry rock I just put in and some air line. I will soon ( hopefully over the weekend ) get sand.

GOT SAND?
Couldn't resist. So what, now we're being graded on attendance?
Is it Pass Fail or ABCDF?
Tanks looks good! I like them when they are all shiny and new like that.
Bring on the grunge!
And Lynn, not sure about all the different bacteria's, but alot of them will grown on tank walls, plumbing. Just about any surface and to a lesser extent the water column. The only one I would think that would be there in any real numbers would be the ones that convert nitrate to nitrogren gas as they need an anerobic (low oxygen) environment.

Yeah, just the one horizontal DI. The rest of it is less than a week old.
I got some live sand as he didn't have dry. 20lbs covered the DT with a half an inch. Perfect. I also got a quarter of an inch in the mantis tank. I really like the white sand.
As you know I have the dual fuge setup ( if not, see early posts for pics ) and the one will be a mantis tank. Its .22" acrylic, will I need to take any special measures to keep my tank safe from the shrimp?

Just wondering, for the thread title, were you trying to say the box of options? lol
