@thephoreefer anytips on getting taking pix with phone camera? I just got the tencco you used and it’s works great for the price but not to familiar taking pictures. Anyway to lock the specimen slide from moving when I adjust the focus?

Wow fancy. Not familiar with that brand/model so can’t help you. I personally don’t like these all in one drinking ro models since there’s a lot of proprietary components. Do you have space near ro for a holding tank? That may take care of your pulsating issue.

I’ll take some if you have extra. I love interesting sponges.

Tell me about it. Now I’m curious how asov internals work and how h2o moves thru the spiral membrane.

Thx for reply. No real concern, more just curiosity about how these systems that our tanks depend on really work. Also if some of the mantras being passed around really matter in real world applications.

Recent rodi threads got me curious and after a bunch of reading got a question about tds creep. At idle, the h2o in the product (clean) due to osmosis will migrate to the waste side of the membrane. Thus the product will have less h2o and higher tds percentage, though the same amount of tds. It...

Is it the ro buddy? Got a pic?

That’s the million dollar question. Don’t think anybody has tracked the real world impact. Don’t know anybody that tests for chlorine post membrane. I nominate @Alexander1312!

Yes, according to this, chloramines is shortens both carbon and membrane life. Guess I’ll add chlorine testing to rodi maintenance. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/can-chloramines-get-past-a-good-ro-di.288438/

The issue you want to address is your ro booster pump pulsating as in it turns on then off rapidly? Only when it’s feeding your tank, but not when your drinking faucet is open? The long line shouldn’t add much back pressure since it’s such low flow. You can put a check valve on waste line if...

No more dinos?

Assuming it’s a peltier cooler, it shouldn’t be loud but just a humming sound if anything. Though the dosing pump might be loud.

i'm interested in the plank. glad there's finally a decently 'frozen' food feeder.

We will have a race. Loser buys boba.
