Mine is used as a bluray player fifty times as much as it is used as a game console. I spend most of my time playing games on the wii. I am too old to spend my time trying to figure out the twenty buttons on the ps3 remote. I enjoy the simplicity of the wii.
I feel ya on that one I got a ps3 and I have only bought two games for it. However resident evil 5 is coming out for it so I have to get that. The wii on the other hand I can play showtime championship boxing for hours

wow that's a beast of a ro/di
Yeah it is...but for only a buck and a quarter you can't go wrong...If I just used it for drinking water it will pay for itself...

Well you know how we do it out at sea...gota make it happen...

So...

I took the broken 1/4" fitting and reamed it out, then used my soldering iron to heat the inside up....just till it starting smoking and giving me a terrible headache...:D then I took the 1/8" fitting that I got by mistake and screwed it into the warm one...I kept turning till she squeaked, the let it cool...
I put some teflon tape on the threads and put it all together...I got lucky cause it all held. So now the broken fitting is a reducer and I got to juice this baby up...

After about 10 gallons and oh 2 hours? I put the TDS meter on the inlet and output...

I AM a happy guy now!! and the fishes ought to like the low Ph I'll wind up with...I am starting out with a high Ph of 8.2 and 346 ppm of total desolved solids...and the results can speaK for themselves...;) :D

Your setup is looking amazing, I can't wait to see it in action. It might be time for a road trip. :naughty:

You may end up getting a ph as low as 5.5 or lower using that unit
