Those are rookie phosphate numbers I'm trying to get my tank back down to that!!! Nitrate does sound a bit high, sorry to hear about your losses...

okay great, I was worried going to try to take out all the built up leftover shells and old frag plugs out the sand bed later tonight to make it look nicer!

Going to do a full update soon, but I did have a question about using a gravel filter on my sand bed. I know it's good to get a lot of possible phosphate build up in my tank which can be found in the sand bed however I have a Dimond Goby and a Large Tiger Conch (one of my favorite tank...

I’m sorry to hear this literally was at harbor freight this morning and thought about picking up some!

as a fan of torches I can say this is amazing!

I appreciate all the hard work you put into the guide sorry forgot about it with my busy day I’ll definitely read it over again

Thank you I’ll try this out tonight I’ll add it directly into my sump air intake and record a more accurate reading once I get my RODI set up good on Thursday

Thank you this is very helpful! Seems like I need to dose around 53 mls should I spread that out?

My conundrum is obviously for the time being my RODI water is compromised would you @derek_SR or anyone else still recommend I dilute to a 1:50 ratio of RODI to Phosphate-E and put it in my skimmer? I'm thinking since my concentration of phosphate is so incredibly high I might be safer just...

Yeah it hit me that my auto top off has been sending phosphate filled RODI water this whole time for who knows how long a few weeks to months smh further contributing to my issues, hopefully I can get my system fixed and back up to Par (Lame dad joke? My son is too young to appreciate these at...

I completely understand, I will definitely look into getting new membranes I'm just wanting to do a water change asap so waiting on my Resin for now just to hold me down, but first thing on my list is ordering new filters/membranes! Found out I do have membranes - although not enough "Brains"...

I believe this is the one I have based on the model number RCB3P I have to lower the quality of the image when I post here unfortunately, I can check the back when I go home for lunch...

Yes those are the ones I will be replacing the resin on, to be honest I'm not sure about the RO membrane this is what I inherited when I bought the tank and this was what was being used since the tank was made without issue, I believe the other parts were replaced not too long before I purchased...

interesting definitely something to think about, I'm really thinking about doing a ICP test regardless I need to learn how to do it.

Excuse the messy back yard
