nay,kid is an unknown quantity at this point
My tank leaked!!!

I finally got enough RO/DI water made to start my tank for the first time. My pump is in the basement and DT is upstairs, so I turned on the pump ran upstairs and checked for leaks. All my plumbing fittings were great so I breathed a sigh of relief. Then to my horror the entire bottom seal started dripping. Luckily I had a few buckets and was able to pump the water out very quickly so my floor is OK. I had water in it before when I got the tank and cleaned it out with no leaks. I guess moving it and putting weight in it stressed out the bottom. So today I removed all the wet sand and rock and got it shopvaced out so I can tear it down and start over. I'm so heartbroken though this has taken me nine months to get to this point and I was so excited. So now my rebate check is going for a new tank instead of lights.
