Does the RO unit have to be connected to the tap always? Or can you remove it?

The way how I see it working is, you connect it to the tap turn the tap on, water goes in the bucket, turn tap off put water in tank... Once finished doing water change disconnect the RO Unit.

I try my best to do 50% every thursday :) that's for my 125litre tank though.

I won't be moving the substrate over as it's light coloured and the 300 will be black sand :)

I'll move over the 3 bits of wood, plant pot, both hydor ario 3 air pumps and the plants and rock :)

Should hopefully have alot of bacteria that I need to boost things.

But still no luck with the new carpet turning up =/ Hopefully it will soon.

What else should I put in the tank though? As it will be very understocked.

So far going in from 125:
Pair of Rams
3 Three-Lined Corydoras
1 Black Peru Corydoras
2 Kuhli Loach
10-13 Guppies, which I will try and get rid of.

What I'd like:
Atleast another 10 Three-Lined Corydoras or another 7.
Maybe 4 more Black Peru Corydoras.
3 more Kuhli Loach.
Maybe some otto's?
Possibly try a pl*co.
And I may try get another pair of GBR's or a pair of golden rams.
*Any other suggestions are welcome*

you can permenately attach it to a tap with the waste water cable going direct to drain or. as you said have it run will your at work/away for the day and come home to find a bucket done ( as it takes ages for you  to get alot of 'product' water *depending on size of unit*)

Nah I'm not going to bother with a RO Unit, too much money and takes up alot of space and time :/
