Tank finally cleared up and I’ll start stocking It with coals after the New Years.

Had a little time to play with my new toy. DJI osmo pocket is awesome as the gymbal makes it super steady.

He doesn’t really have to worry about them being reef safe at this point. He’s only got like 2 corals in there. :)

Spend the day replacing everything in the rodi. Should be good for another year.

Had a little time to take a video of my only coral in the tank :). This been with me for 3+ years survived the crash.

Not sure what your rodi setup is like, or how much water you make, but a year might Ben pushing it in my opinion for the prefilters, especially the carbon block(s)

I explained how big my system was awhile back.


1 20” prefilter, 2 x 20bb carbon, 1 x 20bb chlorplus, 1 chloraplus 10”, 2x 10” matrix carbon blocks, 2 x 90gpd spectrapure membrane in series, then to 1 x 20bb Di and 1x 10” di canister .


Last changed lasted a year before tds creeping up.

Wow. That seems serious overkill. Should last awhile. I do recommend keeping track of gallons through tho.

Do you keep a log of your RODI output? Got me thinking... I'm just watching the TDS meter and the calendar.
I keep track of total water through the filter with a meter, not just product. The waste goes through the prefilters too.

I have a meter that reads how many gallons went through it. Think you recommended it to me.

TDS is not necessarily a good indication of replacement, while it is useful for the resin part of the system, if your carbon blocks are unable to take our chlorine/chloramines then they very well could be grabbed by the DI resin, but not before possibly damage to your RO membrane.

Does the manufacturer have like a recommended number of gallons before replacement for the carbon and sediment filters? Or do they just say it depends on the incoming water source?
