SRC Member nicreef Posted June 28, 2013 Author SRC Member Share Posted June 28, 2013 why didnt you order DI water from Iwarna? now not only u have to wait to make the water, later you need to cycle for another month...... ya regretted that decision lol...was thinking want to learn how to do own di water. Office is on level 3. no elevator. used to carry 30 litre of water up every week for my pico tank. Larger tank now so figured better learn how to do own di water else carry water till crazy...looking back i should have ordered for initial cycling than learn how to do the di water later...lol 19 now!! looks like i got to wait till tomorrow or day after..... how long do usually take to get tds 0 water for 260 litre?
