I just replaced my prefilter, 5 micron carbon, 1 micron carbon, RO, & DI (pretty much everything) and I added an inline TDS meter. I am a sucker for toys, I love seeing that my water is 0-1 ppm after leaving the RO and 0 ppm after the DI. My logical excuse is that I can now have a better idea...

Which TDS meter is perfered for an RO/DI unit. I am planing on getting an inline one for the water coming out but i also want a portable TDS meter. Which portable TDS meter is a nice one. I have found some that look cheep for 10 to 15 bucks and some better quality for like 50 to 60 bucks...

Myself and the wife have started a 120 gallon reef build over the last weekend. This is a long awaited return to the hobby for me and a new introduction for her. Ill make this inital post mostly about equipment and some questions on equipment. The only thing we have on hand now is a...

So, I am getting ready to start my reef tank back up after a year of down time. Got out my r.o. unit and realize I know nothing about it. I have a bag of fresh resin, thought about replacing the membrane, but then I realized how cheap I am. :) Its a membrane rated for 100 gallons per day...

Let's say I decide to not go fresh water. Say I decide to replace the pressure booster pump for my RO/DI. Help me rethink my tank and redesign my sump with say a budget of $700. Current tank: 75 gallon bare bottom AGA Reef Ready sitting on a standard AGA pine stand. 2 Seio 1500 gph pumps...

I am looking for a decent RO water filter. Any suggestions on a good brand?

Ok I noticed about a month ago I was loosing PE? so I did a check of my calcium and noticed it around 350 and my alk was stable at 8dkh...keep in mind I have had a reactor for about 6 months now(never adding calcium to the tank relying on the reactor) I know dumb on my part...but would this...

So, I bought an RODI off of a guy locally, but I need new cartridges. I have a Kent Marine Deluxe Hi-S Maxxima 35 GPD. http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~idProduct~KM1491.html I wanted to order some new filters from www.airwaterice.com, But I am not sure which ones wiill work...

All right, newbie question time (actually I just always used to take my water to the LFS for testing but I want to do it myself now.) So I'm in the market for some testing supplies. From what I've gathered, Salifert is the choice brand. However which test kits should I buy? I have a pH probe...

Ok I think this has been gone over before. So please forgive me if it has. When you use a holding container (garbage can, rubbermaid etc) and a mechanical float. How do you prevent from using so much DI resin? I know my TDS is not that high. Every time I get water and the float drops so the RO...

I'm looking at buying my own RO unit instead of lugging water jugs back and forth from my lfs. I would like to put it under one my bathroom sinks. I think that is the only place my wife will let me put it. I do have plenty of space for it and at least a 10 gallon container. I've done a...

just wondering if that could be the culprit with my algae issues. looked over the bottle but it doesnt mention anything, doesnt say theres not phosphates though.

Hi Everyone a few weeks ago I ordered a new ro/di unit (typhoon111) and while I was ordering I also ordered a tds meter. I ordered from airwaterice.com. I was having problems with the tds meter so I called and they told me they would send me a new one. I just received my "new" tds meter and I'm...

My rock gets quite dark after a couple of weeks. I don't have a huge problem with the glass. I can use that magnetic cleaner thingy on it once a week or maybe 2X a week and I'm good. Don't seem to be scraping glass much except where the magnet won't reach. Not too long ago I took all the...
