Initial Water Fill Up For Tank

[Ajabraham]

Still waiting on some plumbing to get my RODI system and mixing station up and running, does anyone know of any one that delivers water (preferable by tank , trying to avoid transporting bottles of waters) , would like to start the tank cycling vs having to wait for the mix station to be completed

How many gallons are you looking for?

And where are you?

Talk to Mike @Coral reefer. Depending on location he's reasonably priced especially for supporting members. He just filled Tim's 650 gallon pico tank.

I think 650g should qualify for nano tanks

650gal = "pico" ?

Then my 13.5gal is a mist droplet

You best put a mask on it

+1 on Mike, depending on your location.

You probably don't really need it though.
Hopefully you can beg/borrow a few gallon containers.
Buy some salt water from LFS.
Just enough to cover the sand bed a tiny bit.
Then get that cycling right away by adding a bit of ammonia and bacteria.

I can ask the guy who delivers water to Neptune's if he minds if I give you his number.

Depending upon the method of transportation (aka car), if you have a hatchback of some sort could find a poly container that fits the size of your car and just use that for transport, 50 gallons of salt water is only weighing about 400 pounds. Not sure if you can back a car into Neptunes to fill up though.

That's Bob and he will sometimes deliver with a minimum of 100 gallons (depends on his mood and schedule) , but he raises the price to do so. Still not to expensive and might be a good option.

I live pretty close to Neptune's and have used him a few times. Great guy.

Super helpful Thank you

What are you missing for the RODI?

 

[H2OPlayar]

Yeah, by now, your tank would be filled if you had your rodi going for 2 days. My initial fill took 3 days and I borrowed a 2nd rodi unit to make water faster.
