Into the deep end we go. Gonna be a bigger aquarium soon.

Btw. The gauge itself can be a choke point. I’m lazy. What I would do is remove the membrane and move the gauge to the end and see if it is still backed up. Before I look at each unit. Then remove the gauge and see how the flow is.

Re thinking it. I think the booster pump is doing its job. Pressure is high because there’s a choke in your system after the booster pump. Ro/di systems don’t work well at 35 psi. They will work tho. 60 psi is the sweet spot. Since you have a pressure gauge. Tap that gauge before and after each...

I’m not familiar with either units. But what I can tell you is you have a choke on the waste side somewhere. Just disconnect each join until it flows like crazy. Or your membrane is bad. Even if it’s new. It can be bad if it’s a cheap one.

I fixed it for you.

I didn’t read thru everything. But this is my protocol when my skimmer goes nuts. It is because something is in the water that is a foaming agent. Doesn’t matter what it is. I open everything up on the skimmer, gate valve , air, etc. if it’s a dc skimmer ( which is what I like ) I dial the pump...

Tell her that’s how you win in this hobby. Is she always analyzing her bf/ husband. Trying to fix him ?

DAYMN. She has the reefing world at her finger tips and she doesn't even care. LOL. People would love to be in her spot.

I’m a little jelly. Ruby red Xenia is kinda a rare find. Congrats

The best advice is follow 1 mentor. Find an aquarium that you like. Follow what he / she is doing. Try to understand why he’s doing it. Everything else is just noise and will confuse you in the end. There are way too many options and opinions in this thread. If you listened to a little of each...

You seem very helpful. How come you’re not a supporting member ?

Dunno if you remember the conversation we had about your aquarium being a baby ? Well it’s still a baby. You gotta treat it like one. Putting in intermediate or advanced corals isn’t gonna work. Especially when you’re a baby also in the hobby. Slow is Fast. Fast is Dead. So what would I do ...

It really depends on what you’re using it for. You’re gonna get mixed reviews. I’m a little colorblind so it’s hard for me to tell if it’s yellow or very lite green. Plus if you’re using it for qt. The copper bonds with the ammonia giving it a false reading. That’s just me tho. Others will have...

Mailman.

I have extras if you need. Let me know.

Welcome.

It’s a loaded question. There are so many variables. What fish diet ? Where do they swim in the water column ? How fast is their metabolism ? Are you feeding a flake , frozen, pellet, etc. Is the food floating , sinking , middle water column. Are they fast eaters or slow eaters. As per the fish...

Here is the fish when you see it with the naked eye. You would think brook. That’s what I thought. After two formalin baths it didnt look any better. With stuff like this. It can be multiple different things at once.

Well a few weeks ago I finally had enough of not knowing what is up with fish. With all this technology out there I figured there has to be an easier way for us to identify what is on our fish. So I asked if anyone had a compound microscope cuz I only had a stereo microscope for coral...

I think Dong says do what young Jedi said but iodine dip once 2-3 days. He tells you how to do it on YouTube the reefers. He talks about bjd and what to do.
