Pretty fish

I remember seeing that 75k number but not the source tds they used in the equation to come up with the number. 100? 400? Thank you for the part number info!

Thank you, Alex! I do recognize the green paperwork insert on the filter when I checked the link you provided.

350-425ish tds from the house so I tend to replace membrane every 12 to 18 months. Zone 7 Water Agency uses chloromine. Most of my reefing budget goes towards making fresh and salt water these days. Envious of other members low tds source water.

I also use this. About time to buy a replacement cartridge. Do you know where to find them?

I agree. Few things should be automatically justified. I am not trying to persuade or impress, just chatting.

Fixing the route cause of anything in this hobby is hard because we don't know enough to know if we truly are fixing something from the root. Is "low flow and certain trace elements too low" truly the root or a different band-aid? I can't even pretend to know.

The chiropractor's displays were always on point. I couldn't afford much from his shop back then but always went for inspiration. Those days I spent a ton of time at Sun Aquarium helping the owner with shop tasks in trade for great prices and friendship. Going to the airport to pickup shipments...

No tap, I drink the dangerous stuff :D . Living case study of RODI drinking for 15+ years. Its lack of taste, tastes so good...

I go by taste lol but I also use my rodi as drinking water. It gets a slight metallic taste when it’s time to change out anion. It usually happens before the entire canister changes color so I assume the water needs more travel time and change it out.

430 entering is around what I get in Livermore. Maybe time for new membranes? The center canister in the picture is only giving half as much travel time through that resin as the other half is spent.

pay the ransom! It will be worth it to have your reef images again. I did this a few months ago.

It seems they may have increased the price recently. I think I remember it being closer to the 800 number. Still not a cheap purchase but you also don't have to spend on replacing the disposable razor blade or reagents.

I suspect Charles knew they were using uncured concrete and acted accordingly while I should not have assumed AF rock is cured or acts like other brands of dead rock. For example, does Carib Sea Life Rock act like a reservoir that leaches alk?
