ro/di

Hi, I’m swapping out my RO/DI filters and noticed the inside of the canisters were very dirty. Seems like carbon residue + dirt. Should I clean them and with what? I tried wiping them off with a paper towel but didn’t really work. Admittedly it’s been a few years since I swapped the filters...

Hey y’all so I just got into the hobby and recently bought a reverse osmosis. My question is do I also need DI system because my buddy who has tanks told me not to get the DI and just use seachem safe. I’m not sure if should just get DI anyway.

My tank, 55 gallon saltwater tank, is holding border safe nitrates. Kinda high but not killing anything yet. We have done water changes and added more rock, but still high nitrates. We finally tested plain tap water and out tap water is about at 15 nitrates. We have started looking at RO/DI...

I've heard API Stress Coat and Seachem Prime aren't really compatible with protein skimmers. What would another option be other than getting a reverse osmosis filter? Are there any other chemicals that remove chlorine and other bad chemicals that won't mess with a protein skimmer?

Residual chlorine (no chloramines) in the water mains where I live in Italy is between 0,03 and 0,05 ppm. Do I need a very good 1 mcr carbon block, or can I just get a cheap 10 or 5 mcr carbon block and replace it once a year? Is it recommended to test for chlorine after the carbon blocks, or...

Hi i'm new to reef2reef so i dont really know how tags work, but I do have a few questions, the biggest being how ro/di water works. Today I recieved an aquaticlife ro/di, and when I tested the hardness (my tap water is beyond unsafe due to it) in which it came out to 0 for the first time ever...

Hi all, Wanted to add a pressure tank/faucet to my ro/di unit. Right now I have a 3 way ball valve that allows me to switch from one brute container to another. I want to replace the one side/brute container with the tank/faucet. After the 3 way valve going to the tank/faucet side...

Hello Reef Friends, As I have been working on my build plan and budget I have discovered that RO/DI systems are not sold in Europe. From my LFS to online sites there are lots of RO systems, but no RO/DI. When I do find them, they are very expensive imports from the US. I looked into some water...

Hey guys, I have Cyanobacteria, pretty positive, as it consistently creates mats of algae on my sand bed, rock, and corals. It’s more of a clinging issue to my zoas, urchin, and rocks. It appears red and won’t stop coming back. I have tested my parameters to 0 nitrates, ammonia, phosphates...

Hello, all! I just finished mortaring the scape for my soon to arrive Waterbox 130.4. On the MarcoRocks website, it says you can rinse under running water. Regretting that I didn’t do the rinse prior to mortaring everything. My question...Can this be done with city tap water if I let it dry for...

Over the past two days I’ve noticed a thin and spotty film on the surface of my RO water. Any idea what this is and will it hurt my livestock? I’ve been removing it just by putting a strip of filter pad while mixing water.
