Worked a bit on the RODI station outside . Slow progress but still a step forward
Question on this: is this just for RODI, or are you doing a mixing station? Also, any worries about it getting too hot outdoors? (Just asking because I want to do something very similar to this outside, but concerned about doing WCs and such in the summer.)

for now just RODI, so for just top off, even if it's too hot it should be ok.

I have my mixing station in the garage as you know. During the hottest days last summer my stored water stayed way cooler than my tanks did.

Good news, I found a job so I can resume my build
Did some more plumbing, getting there .


I started to look for the aqua scaping, I wish Caribbean rock had software where you can place the different kind of rock they have and just order what you need once the design is done . Or go to aquatic collection, grab a table , do you scape and just buy what you need

Is the FMK on the reactors so you can make sure you're getting constant "good tumble" on carbon and GFO?

Plumbing should be all done now. I still have to figure out a clean way to run pipe and cables through the wall to the shed outside right accros ( rodi tube, apex cable, drain etc )

Started to move to wiring.

Hopefully they will be prompt!
Fortunately you were there to find it
But the delay is very annoying
I can emphasize

BRS support was really bad but aqua uv has been amazing.
Now I am waiting for a controller replacement of one of my mp60. One of them just stopped working after few days …

In between I am working on my controller cabinet , taking the DIY road
I just finished 3D printing the holder for the voss bottles dosing containers
