What do you do while waiting for tank to finish cycling?

[nicreef]

Nothing to do now...feeling impatient!!!

Fact: i havent even started cycling...still waiting for tds to reach 0.

Already feeling this impatience building up within me. Tell me what i can do right now??? everyday work in office i see the empty tank in front of me bui ta han! wonder how i am going to control myself for another month.....

Ps: rockscape done

sry for this random post....really sitting here in office unable to focus on work...every 5 min walk up to tank take tds (as if it will go from 20 to 0 just like that).

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?

[leonard2k]

[nicreef]

Wah immediate... Hmm I hope mine speeds up with the sand I am adding from

Old tank to new. Ytd tds was 6 at 6pm today go in office at 10 is 2 zzzzz

Just nice building no electricity till 5 due to maintnce double the zzzz

Hope I can get It to 0 tml..

[Evolutionz]

IMO, i will use any TDS below 10.

[nicreef]

! Darn ic... Haiz nvm will do it tml when I reach office. No electricity means no wave maker to mix salt mix for me too.

But gonna take note tml if still 2 tds I am not waiting Liao just mix

[Evolutionz]

Somtimes the pail i use to hold DI water, if i didn't wash previously with DI water cleaner, TDS reads 6 - 8... i also just use..
