Clear plastic 5 gallon jugs. I rinse them out after each use as well.

I also have a TDS meter on my rodi unit and a aquatic life smart buddie booster pump as well. My tds meter currently reads 240 after the first three prefilters and 0 after the resin filter.

I use brightwell salt and have an liquigen 75 gpd fuve stage ro/di unit. The whole unit is about two months old.

After testing my ro water I read that those tests are not always accurate with just fresh water. So I tested a recent batch of salt water mix made on Monday and it’s reading .29ppm. That’s high... what is it more likely coming from the salt mix or my RO unit? Like I said before my tds meter...

I have 65 gallon tank and a 29 gallon sump. Approximately 80 gallons of water

To make things interesting I just tested my ro water and it’s reading .13 ppm. That seems high for water that should be stripped clean. My tds meter reads 0 as I make it.

So I guess I will start doing 20 gallon water changes weekly till I get them to an acceptable level.

It’s the phosphate ulr ppm checker. So they are high.

This is after doing another test. The phosphates were .62 ppm which concerts to .18 ppm

Ooooppppsss. I made an error the first time I did my phosphate test kit. I did not have the lid on it. After doing the conversion my phosphates are .18 ppm.

One more thing... That Hanna nitrate kit is “quite involved”. Thank god for you tube.

The kit that I bought, which was the one the store recommended is phosphate our.. so that’s better. My phosphates are .24. I put my rowa phos back in and also the carbon. Any other suggestions? Is it time to dose nitrates ? If so what’s the preferred method?

That’s exactly what I thought. But my nitrates are fairly low. Could the low nitrates be the reason for this?

I went out and bought two Hanna test kits today and my phosphates are .77 and my nitrates are 4.44. Does that seem too low? Is this what my problem could be?

My lights are always off when I do water changes

What are the best Hanna kits to order? The low range or the high range kits?

So I just took my carbon and rowaphos out of my sump. I’m also going to order the Hanna phosphate and nitrate test kits. I hate charging these items but I think it’s worth the investment. I don’t like the test kits that are color coded. From what I hear the Hanna test kits are the most...

I noticed my acans and zoas not doing well the last two weeks. I’m located in southern NJ Pitman 08071.

Looking for some advice. My tank is 9 months old and I have approximately 80 gallons of water. It’s a 65 gallon tank with a 29 gallon sump. In my sump I have 10lbs of miracle mud, some rubble rock and chaeto. I run carbon in my filter sock and rowa phos in between the baffles in my sump. I...

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for commenting on my post. I went ahead and bought the aquatic life booster pump. I went from making five gallons of water in about three hours to five gallons in 1.5 hours. My pressure gauge reads between 80-90 psi when in use. This thing is nice and...
