I'm such an idiot....you wont believe what the problem was....its now fixed....:mad:

I'll try that...in the past if I changed the media it dropped to .000 right away. But i'll give it a go. Thanks everyone,

It has the TDS meter built into the DI on top of the canister. Didn't touch tubing or wires, just the container. Very strange. The flow into the brute seems very strong compared to the normal slower steady flow.

I have a BRS system. I just changed the DI media (BRS media) and I'm getting the same TDS in as out. .008 I thought I might have over packed it so I took some out and loosed up the media also made sure sponge filter was clean, but still getting the same TDS. Almost seems as flow is bypassing...

There are a million skimmer options out there, at many different price points. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a test to see if your skimmer was doing its job. Wouldn't it be nice to have some science behind you skimmer purchase. They all fill up with crap, but are they getting out all the crap...

I believe these are tomatoes...

I'm doing a poll and the results of the voting will be my decision on what to do with my Strip less clowns. Poll will close Monday afternoon. I've been on the fence on what to do with these guys after reading how aggressive they can act. They will be going in my display tank which is a 180...

My over/under jokes were subtle hints...:)

I have been thinking about it...:)

Bump...they are now thriving in my refug, done quarantining.

He's always been extremely helpful here too...congrats!

Your tank and system is impressive! Thanks for sharing!
