Re: New Fish Room

[Jerry Leong <jerryleong@loop.com>]

Since apistos are going to be the main occupants of the fish room, I would
suggest a high efficiency (high pressure) RO system, with storage tank for the
water.  If the storage tank is inside the fish room, it could also act as a heat
sink to help stabilize the room's temperature.  Unfortunately, the high
efficiency RO systems require electricity to power the pump which would boost the
pressure to increase the efficiency of the system.  Then there's the problem of
transferring the water from the storage tank to the individual tanks...
