I just found this in my RO/DI Brute trash bin:

...so that's why the water was coming out so slow

 

[crazyfishmom]

looks like a potential source of ammonia… those test kits were not lying… sorry bad joke… that sucks.

Reef safe?

Ha ha... I actually had the thought -- well, some people dose ammonia,,, maybe I don't even need to empty the water.

Reef safe?

Reef safe with caution -- can chew through power cables.

I think I would only because I might worry about a bacterial issue in the tank.

No way. Well you confirmed you have mice.
Rinse the can and add some bleach or vinegar and agitate pour out and refill

Yeah,,, I did. Wasted about 25 gallons of RO/DI,,, cleaned with bleach and hosed out well (((in backyard under torrential downpour so I don't need a shower tonight)))

Blah!! That was shocking lol.

This reminds me of a restaurant experience I lovingly recall as "Raton Fritos". Rat crawled up the open empty valve during the cleaning process. New grease was added and heated...

The guys were like, "It's real hot, I think it's ok." I was like, "change the grease, clean it again."

With the rain we are having you could quickly refill that bucket overnight, unless the rats have now claimed it as their "well?"

It's an ultra rainbow rare mouse! Frag and sell

Remy from ratatouille got the bad ending in the sequel

No way, free ammonia and also free bacteria!

It’s an all-in-one solution for a flourishing reef, I’d call it “Rat Snow”

What kind of fish is that???

A rat fish of coarse.

 

[Gumbies R Us]

This was not what I was expecting haha

The comments never dissapoint. . Hopefully just one that was a stray roaming around and not an infestation starting.

@ISpeakForTheSeas any idea what this could be? Im thinking rat but I'm not sure

You should do a large water change to reduce your rodent level and everything should be fine.
