The Official Asylum Reef Tank Thread

My replacement filters and membrane and DI cartridge came for my rodi unit. I got some tubing and fixed a leak, too. I got her all fired up and made my first 20 gallons of water. After feeding tomorrow, I'll clean some brown hair and start replacing a ridiculous amount of water for the next couple months until I get this hair under control.
When I was talking to the air, water, and ice girl, she asked if my system sat unused full of water. I told her no, then realized it sat around for quite awhile when I moved here. Apparently that's a very bad thing. It ruins your membrane and makes your RODI water smell like fish.
So there's yet another self-inflicted catastrophe I've set upon myself.
I'm glad it happened, otherwise I'd have never learned. My stuff is none the worse for the wear, and soon it'll get better.
I've learned volumes about reef keeping in the last month and keep reading constantly. Soon I may be able to keep stuff alive.
