After a bunch of delays, finally got the RO Booster Buddie today. I hooked up and running it now. Setup was pretty straightforward. The thing looks super clean. I had to pull the extra membrane off my unit so it went from 150 GPD back to 75 GPD but apparently should bring my waste to clean water...

Super glue isn’t really effective. Once you pull the rock out of water, the aiptasia will likely retract. Even if you get super glue on it, it may just retract further into the rock (assuming the rock is porous enough) or move. If this were my tank, since it was just set up, I would dump the...

Tweezers will be approx 100% ineffective against aiptasia

Welcome! Tell us about your setup!

Could definitely go under the sink but I’m renting, so reluctant to fk around with the plumbing. Would likely have to do something like that if I get the RO Buddy

For a 10 gallon tank, you’d have what, a powerhead, HOB filter and heater? A large opaque jar in the corner with the back knocked out to hide electronics. For the light, just route the wire along the underside of the cabinet along the wall down to that nearby outlet. Could get creative. If you...

Thanks. Watched a couple videos, and looks pretty straight forward. It’s less about the installation at this point and more a factor of my RO/DI not being fixed in one spot. I store it under the sink, then pull it out to connect the shower, make water then put it away. Having to juggle a second...

Pardon the horrific artistic rendition, but have you considered the UNS 90B - 35.43 x 7.87 x 9.84" - 12 Gallons? These are fantastic tanks. You’ll need to run on a small hob filter but you could make it pretty clean. 36” long, along the back wall under the cabinet, buy one or two 30” ai blade...

I only plan to make about 10 gallons, if that, a month. Forgot to check TDS when I hooked up the unit last night, but I’m in Walnut Creek. Not sure how “clean” the water is here. I have a fully outfitted SpectraPure RO/DI unit. I run 1 micron sediment, 1 micron carbon and mixed DI...

Interesting. Probably 10-15 feet. Much longer than it needs to be. I could make do with 2-3 feet. Never thought about shortening it though since I’ve not had this water pressure issue in the past. Might try to shorten it and see what happens though I’m confident that my issue is just shitting...

With my current 10 gallon tank, I’ve reduced water changes to once every few months. For top off, I will probably use 5ish gallons a month. As much as it pains me not to use my RO/DI, I think it makes sense just to go to a LFS for water. I’m not far at all from Cali Kid. Finding a spot for the...

Appreciate the input. As I suspected, sounds like it’s the RO buddy or go back to LFS for RO/DI

The complexity is my concern … anyone have experience with one of these? RO/DI Buddy Is it worth the hassle for top offs on a 10 gallon w/ infrequent water changes, or do I just go back to lugging home 5 gallons on water at a time from an LFS…

So my RO/DI is telling me that I’m getting 25 psi from my water source (shower)… I think optimal RO/DI pressure is 60 psi… what are my options to get it into the 60 range?

Pump and nozzles pending

The colony to begin with came from a system, though healthy, that had been left to its own accord for some time. Despite the best efforts of those involved in the tank take down, there was some manhandling needed/involved in the removal of this (and the other colonies). Due to the size of the...
