Good Point Chris,
Adequate ventilation is essencial. i wish Icould seal the top of the
aquarium a I get about a 1-2 gl loss daily , that means that everyday I need
to add all the crudy water we get, and in turn mov concentrated heavy
metals, nitrites, chlorine, PO4 and on and on.. Reverse osmosis isn't a true
cure as it strips too much from the water , thus you  have to add some
minerals back in. It's a see-saw of sorts. So my only true option (until I
can get a DE filter or get one of you to send me a diagram of the layout of
the DE filters) is to do WC @ 25-30% per week.
BTW, Chris do you have a brother from Canada by the name of Rob?
Used to work prototyping with him. Was fun.Please contact me privately about
some computer ideas I can bounce off ya, Mark B.
