Ray is still breathing hard and refusing food. Very active though. Been doing 50% wcs daily. No salt added last night. Entire basement is dark. The single Dorado in there was noticeably more active this morning.
Been adding stability w/ the WCs.
Maybe I should cut back to 30%s?
IF I can get my drip system figured out I'd just throw that on there.

How many/which kind of filters I can trust to get ALL the chlorine out.
Waiting to hear back from municiple water dept on some things as well too....
It's set up and I had it running last night/today, but have to get some Chlorine tests to be sure the 1 cheap filter is working. May have to add more or get "the filter guy" ones.

Sure, I'll just get a few Ultima bead filters too while I'm at it.
Not all of us in this hobby have that kinda $ to throw around. I know I sure as hell don't.My water supplier has allready said they have NEVER used chloramine and have no plans whatsoever for any future use.
I'll figure it out, I just figured with as easy as everyone makes them sound that it would be easy to find answers to questions. Oh well, learn by doing right?
I run through 1 1-micron sediment filter and 2 carbon filters that use to be part of my r/o system so they aren't very big and I do around 150-200 gallons a day with no issues. I replace my sediment filter every 10 days and my carbons every month.
On the incoming line I use a pressure reducer from 40 psi to 25 psi and on the outgoing I reduce down to 1/4 inch tubing and put a drip adapter on used for irragation systems. The pressure reducer and drip adapter I got at home depot in there yard irragation section.
The r/o system was a coralife pureflo 2 with 3 filters but you could use any type of house filter the same size and series them together.
I also run a mix of hot and cold through there to keep the water temp up. Works good in my 850 gallon system. I have one 300 watt heater in there to balance. Gas is cheaper than electricity for me when I'm heating my tanks.

Don't know a whole lot about drip filtering so did a search and came a pon this older thread by Rallysman. Got everything he needed from Lowes for under 70 bucks.
You might have already seen it, but in case you hadn't.

dosing pump is like 200$ ask mike @ h2o what he uses... its like powered prime....
if not 1 sediment and 2 carbon blocks would be good... if you want extra protection add a 4th filter with granulated carbon
