Like sandy says. We need a couch. The rest really don't matter when you get all the pretties in that tank... :-)

I bet it dosn't 8) 8) Looks like you are doing a great job with it. What is the room where the tank will sit, a bedroom?

What speed RO are you using and what tds are you getting before the RO and after? You can get Zero tds by bypassing you RO membrane. You run through a small sediment filter, then two carbon blocks, one small micron and one very small micron, then skip the RO and run it through two di chambers and you should get clean water with 0 TDS depending on what the tds is going in. Doing it this way you don't have waste water and your produce the water really fast (as fast as it comes out your sink).

At least something to consider in speeding up the filling of your tank.
