the seal a meal thing sounds like a good idea to me, I might even use it to preserve food too.Do you remember where you got the 50 lbs of di resin from and what it cost? also was it nuke grade?

o ya,
does anyone know of a particular media I can use in a reactor or a sock that is effective on nitrates. I am not really worried about phosphate. that always shows up undetectable on a salifert kit.
I thought about this more today. Without a decent skimmer I would go with that new knock off of ZeoVit, I think it was call ProPolyp or something. John and Brian at Kingfish in Austin were telling me about it and John uses it in a non skimmed tank with great results. Similar to alcohol etc. It has a certain bacteria, food, amino acids etc. that eat up the waste.
Sounds perfect for your setup. It's not cheap, but on a small tank it'll last a long time and you don't need to use up your space etc.
I think it was Nuke grade. It may have been buckeye, he had a special on the non color changing stuff...looked like rootbeer color. It was a long time ago as my big tank has been down for 2 years almost.
