I run a double membrane setup on my RO Buddie. Works like a charm. You run the waste line from the first RO membrane into the input of the second RO membrane and the waste line from the second RO membrane into the waste input for the RO Buddie. The clean water output from the two membranes are...

Running at higher PPT / SG means more of the major and trace elements.

Looking forward to the episode!

Not much modification to the sink plumbing is required. See the photo attached. The fitting is $11.98 on Amazon: https://a.co/d/0fg2I7p

I have the RODI Buddy. Super convenient since it allows me to pump RODI from under my sink to my water barrels 30+ ft away and does a few minutes of auto flush to clear out the membranes when I turn it on once a week. The auto flush prolongs the life of the DI stages. Easy to do it manually...

Yeah, the Jebao comes with a spare head so it is a pretty decent deal. My Jebao doser has been running for 5 months now. No issues other than that one head breaking early on.

I also have one of these. One of the dosers heads stopped working after only a few weeks of operation. Thankfully I am only using 2 of the dosers so I just switched to one of the open heads. I am hoping to get 1-2 years out of this cheap doser. I will likely upgrade eventually.

I did a lot of research on a generator over the course of the 10+ months. After a lot of back and forth I went with a Predator 5000 for the following key reasons: 1) Inverter generator. This is a must if you want to run sensitive electronic equipment 2) Dual fuel. I intend to run the...

Picture outside of water after KCl dip. Will take in tank pictures going forward.

Picture outside of water after KCl dip. Will take in-tank pictures going forward.

I am in Saratoga which I believe is served by the same water service as San Jose. I also have a whole house water softener. I generate zero TDS RODI without issue. Something must be wrong with the unit BRS sent. I am on the road now but can post a picture of what my BRS setup looks like tomorrow.

For those in the South Bay---I plan to be in Oakland for a meeting next Wednesday and can swing by High Tide afterwards. Let me know if you want me to pick up a frag for the contest. I am in Saratoga and Palo Alto during the week. I will hold any frags in a temporary 10 gallon quarantine tank...

Nice looking frag discs! Where did you get them?

RedSea has a DIY tank cover kit which is relatively economical. If you don't go that route then there are the custom lid makers which for that size tank I assume would cost $250-400 depending on who you go with and how customized it needs to be.

@thephoreefer Do you have any favorite places to buy torches? I am trying to build out my collection since my new tank is finally starting to stabilize (yesterday was the first time in months where I did not have to manually remove dinos or algae from the rock rock during my weekly water change).

I have a similarly sized Sicce and Varios return pumps in my tank. The Varios was dead silent out of the box whereas the Sicce emitted an annoying low hum that I could hear from the room next door (I have very sensitive hearing). I also have a RedSea skimmer which also uses a Sicce pump. That...

I hope Fauna Marin salt is comparable to Tropic Marin. I am using both Nyos and Tropic Marin salt since both mix and store very clean. If Fauna Marin is comparable I will just go with whatever on sale. If you try FM put please post a review!

I will join in too

I would be happy to participate. I will be one of the control tanks: new reefer that does very little. Let's see what happens!
