    Time for a new RO/DI unit

    Filter Guy's? Not sure who that is, or where they are located. Then you say run 2 RO membranes parrallel or in series? Then follow it up with a charcoal and then the Vertical DI? This whole RO thing is kind of new to me but I do find it very important. Hoping to really improve this whole...

    Time for a new RO/DI unit

    The unit is about 6 years old. The inconing water pressure is 75-85 psi constant. The filters need to be replaced every 4-5 months. I haven't checked the water coming in for a chlorine read but it is city supplied (Monroe). With all this being said what would you guy's and gal's recommend...

    Time for a new RO/DI unit

    Currently my Ro unit is doing the job but seems to be going thru filters fairly fast and still not cleaning the water like I would expect. My TDS in is about 200-300 and my output is about 25-30ppm. I would assume that I'm fighting the Cyano Bacteria due to this. What would you reccommend...

    My softies won't open!

    Does anyone have any ideas on this. My rbta's are staying nearly all the way closed, and when they do start to open up it is very minimal. The tenticals are a very vivid purple. My mushrooms do open up just a bit, and are very bright in color. My polyps look great! Fish don't seem to be...

    PVC Question

    The time reccomendation is strictly for the pressurization of the pipe. I have done some irrigation systems in the past. If you don't wait at least 2 hours your chance of blowing apart is fairly high. Glue your parts put them together with a quarter twist, hold them for 30 seconds and wipe...

    noisy sump

    My sump is also noisy. I have my drain under water but still have to listen to the gurgle from any air that happens to be in the drain line. My mag pump is not bad but the air is annoying. I will be following along for other ideas. DB

    Well my Rbta has split once again. That would be a total of three seperate pieces now, from only one a week ago. Is this still a good sign? They all look very healthy. DB
