Thanks Gresham! I got the DI Resin beads from BRS. I just looked at their website and see that they say it has a 2 year shelf life unopened. So probably the 6 months storage is more realistic. This actually makes sense to me as I've noticed over the last few months that I've been going...

Hi All, I have a bag of DI resin that I use to replenish my DI filters that is getting over the year mark. I was just curious if anyone knows if the beads degrade over time and if so, what they degrade to (mine are the color changing)? It seems like I read somewhere that after the year mark...

Thanks for the reply Matt. Interesting that a mixed bed produces a slightly lower conductivity. I wonder if this has to do with the type/size of cation/anion resin beads? For now I'll stick with the DI system I have, but eventually I want to upgrade to a larger tank/s. At that point it might...

Thanks for the info guys. I wondered that the Kati Ani was a variant of the DI resins. I'll call John at Ready Aquatics and see what he has in a smaller version.

I noticed Matt's thread asking people about their tap water filtration methods and read how some of you are using methods other than RODI to filter your tap water. I've heard about the Kold Sterile method, not that familiar with using the Kati Ani Resins that Gimmito is preparing. Since we are...

Jim, Thanks for the info and the link!

Hi Jim, Wow, gotta love how your whole system is turning out! I was curious as to the type of tubing that you are using that is connected to your Reef Octopus SR-140, and where you found it.

Looks nice, looking forward to seeing it with water!

Sorry to hear about the tank and the rear-ender! If it's any consolation I biffed my tank about a month ago. The short story: because I believed my controller. It turned out to be wrong, and from that point on I did damage (should have tested, should have tested, should have tested)...

Just curious, where did you find the 2.9 pico tank? By the way it looks good!

Looks like I'll be able to make this! Not doing any swapping this time but want to help out. Looks like there's still room for the clean up crew at the end so you can put me down for that! See you all then!

Been following your massive thread, very cool! I've also been thinking of going with some of the Hanna checkers and I would be curious to know what you think about the Milwaukee electronic refractometer after you get to using it for a while. Look forward to your continued posts and progress!

Great! looking forward to attending this! Mike, when I talked to him at BAYMAC he mentioned that they had sold pretty much everything they had at the time, not anticipating the high demand. I want to say that he mentioned sometime in mid-June they would have more available to distribute to the...

LOL, hadn't thought about my names as something to drink, but I see what you mean! :D
