15 gallon is empty at the moment but will soon be used as a grow out tank.

We run RO water for all the tanks. We live out in the country and have well water that is high in iron. We bought the coal life flo?2 and puts out between 1 and 2 gallons per hour. Not having a place to permantly mount it we build a cart that holds the RO system and a 55 gallon plastic drum. Its rolled over to the sink a few days before water changes are needed, and works like a charm.

I do like where you got your lights! Can't beat the price.
