  1. Yes, I rinsed them once mixed Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  2. Very Healthy Huma Trigger for sale. Has been housed with LPS and Zoas and hasn't messed with anything. About 5" $50 $35 Pickup in Georgetown. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. I have tons of lngthanum chloride left over from doing my rock. Your welcome to some Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. I ended up with several extra marine pure balls if you need them, will sell at a discount. Also, I have 2 blocks that I haven't listed for sale yet.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Do you have the 1" or 4" blocks?I have 2 4" BlocksSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  6. This thing is amazing quiet! I am probably not going to use the float but who knows. I like the failsafe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. I love mine! Quiet and works like a champ. They're custom making me a auto cleaning lid that has the port for the float switch. Still waiting for it though... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. On BRS it says 2 years. But I'm sure it all depends on how well you keep maintenance up and keep it running efficiently. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. If you look to the right of the pressure gauge you'll see a T in the line that goes to the DI stage. Put a Ball Valve on it to allow the water to go out there instead of going to the Di. I have another ball valve on the Di output that I close while I do this. Then close it and open the valve after the Di to make water for the tank! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Where is your 2nd 75 gpd membrane you mentioned? Is it behind the one pictured? Yes, directly behind it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Here's my setup Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. They did tell me a water softener system wasn't worth it for me when I had my tap tested. Wilbarger creek mud Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. And I do run a booster pump Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Oh, and the dual inline tds meter also from BRS Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. I almost don't believe it! You're doing the exact thing I'm doing and almost the same TDS values I'm getting and I have to replace DI every 7-8 months with no water changes, just top off.What TDS meter are you using? Like Gigem posted, what prefilters? I'd have to look when I get home to confirm, 1 Micron Sediment Dual carbon, I think it's the Chloramine kind, even though I don't have chloramines. 75 gpd membrane with BRS water saver upgrade kit ( so 2 75gpd membranes) Dual Di stage using BRS color changing resin Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. I flush my membranes each time for 1 min and run the the system with a Di bypass for about 2 mins or until the tds goes below 10. I'm serious... I've had the same Di resin for probably 3 years and get 0 tds out of them every time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Yeah, my brute can always has some kind of funky smell after a while, maybe I need a circulation pump in there. I definitely rinsed it out last night and wiped it down. Could feel the slimy biofilm on the sides. Nothing I imagine could be harmful, it's such a low nutrient system that this bacteria is a first colonizer that doesn't really attack anything. I believe I read somewhere that once resin becomes depleted, it can start releasing stuff. I know that can happen with carbon, but I'll have to do some reading to verify. My RODI tub smells like cat must to me. Always has. I give it a nice vinegar wipe down every now and then.Definitely worth it for the dual DI stage! And I run a dual Carbon stage too. I've had the same DI resin for like 3 years without it depleting. What's your TDS going into the DI?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk YES! That's exactly what the brute can smells like after the lid has been closed on it for a while, cats.3 years without depleting?! Geez! Where are you getting your DI from? I'm not real positive about the TDS going into the DI. The cheap in line TDS meter says anywhere between 9 and 19 any given day. I don't know how much I can trust that thing. Back before my good in line TDS meter broke, it was usually around 8-12. I'm fairly certain now that it was the RO/DI water. The coral polyps are starting to come back out on my PO'd corals and I noticed that the anemones in the fish room trough were getting pissed off when I was topping off with the left over water from the old RO/DI reservoir. My corals will probably take a while to get back to full health, but I think I can draw a fair conclusion that the bad DI was the main culprit. I changed all kinds of other things, some of which needed to be changed, so some good came out of it. It's the color change resin from BRS. I always have less than 10 tds going into the dual Di stage. Works great. Do you flush your membranes? Highly recommended! Also bypassing the Di for a minute or 2 when you first start to make water.

  21. There should be an egg rate baffle.. they go against it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Looking to see if anyone has a extra RODI line check valve in town before I order one. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Bump! Reduced! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
