    Refillable DI cartridges?

    well,doubt it is the container,if it were it,it would have started smelling long before 10 years were up...it may have just been a faulty batch of DI resin....I'd be a little leery of using the water it produced without at least running it back through some carbon,even with that I'd wonder if it...

    TV show "Tanked" on Animal Planet = FAIL

    I do agree that more could be said about proper care and handling of the livestock,and it being on animal planet,you'd thing it would be mandatory,but I agree somewhat with Kevin too,it's not Bretts responsibility to educate people but AP should since it is a show where animals will be kept in...

    MH vs T5 for biocube 29

    I like MH for the shimmer but I'd go with T5 and replace a bulb or 2 to get to color you want,maybe add 3 or 4 bright white LEDs to get the shimmer
