Yeah on city water, basically I turn on the water, fill up my buckets, add some prime and mix the salt. Eek I know but it's been four years running now and no problems so it's hard to convince myself to spend money on a ro system when it doesn't seem needed. Actually this tank we filled up with buckets than added some prime and dumped in 3 bags of IO. Talk about cloudy for a while.

no that is cool, i figured that is what you meant and i was not going to say anything like that. I have never heard of the prime is that some sort of metal remover??

Yeah you want pics??? I've taken a couple and they all looked like crap. I need a good camera. I'll try tonight. The rockwork is blah, I hate it but I don't have enough big rocks to do anything but make a pile o rock.
