That's great. Are you keeping them in tap water or something softer, like a combination of tap and RO?

I only use ro in my reef setup, too much waste water for my fresh tanks. I converted an old 3 stage ro unit I had lying around to a 3 stage carbon (removed the ro housing and added another canister). Then I just add sea chems acid buffer to get in the 6.8-7 range. Then I add oak leaves and maybe a catalpa leaf to soften the water more and release tannins.

Here's one more with the proud and busy momma.
