looks cool!

sometimes using stuff like RO/DI water filters are just a means to remove all potential problems - when we are in a hobby with so many potentially deadly variables, we try to minimize those as much as possible.

You an always go to the store and fill a 5 gallon jug or two when you need to do a routine water change - you should try to check that water quality too however, not all "filtered" water is...filtered to what we expect

I believe "cooking live rock" is a great way to reset, have your buckets been covered from all light as well?
