rodi

Hi All, I won't call myself new to reefing, but I have been out of it for quite some time so for this purpose, lets just call me new! I purchased a BRS 4 stage value plus RODI System and added the water saver upgrade to make it 100 gpd. I had a TDS meter that I purchased from Amazon several...

I have a feed adapter for under the sink where we live, but I’m wondering if there is something just like that, that I could ‘T’ off of my laundry cold water connection? I believe this is the same as a garden hose? Sorry, I’m not super familiar with plumbing stuff. (hot water side was easier...

So I just relocated back to San Diego county(el cajon) and just need some help finding some stores that sell salt/rodi till I get a set up going. Also if there are and places that just have high quality fish and inverts? Let me know thank you!!!!

I have several Express Water reverse osmosis filters. These filters are all brand new and are universal to most RO machines. 2 Post Active Carbon 1 Reverse Osmosis Membrane 1 ALK alkalinity mineralizer 5 Granular Activated Carbon 5 micron 5 Sediment Filters 5 micron 5 Activated Carbon Blocks...

I'm trying to figure out if I need the 4 stage or 5 stage ro/di system. I have a tds meter on the way but I also have the city water report if it can be determined that way. I'm am on city water

Recently upgraded my tank from a 40g AIO to ~120g total volume and now need to be able to make my own water both RODI and salt. I am in the process of getting all my ducks in a row to build a mixing station. Here is my question/ situation: I live in KC where in winter we can have a stretch of...

Long time reefer here, and I FINALLY own a house that is suitable for the display aquarium I have always wanted. The current setup is a custom 165 gallon with a Trigger Systems Ruby Sump in the stand that has been running for about 9 months, and I am finally ready to start automating/upgrading...

Hi everyone. I finally got around to starting this build thread. I had originally wanted to wait until things were closer to being done, and then doing a recap of sorts, so that people didn't have to wait long periods of time before updates. However, I am learning many things along the way...

Hey everyone! I’m fairly new to reefing and have been buying distilled water for the water changes which was too much... so I got myself a used RODI system to save myself some time/money. But the output for the filtered water is dripping while the waste water is flowing out which doesn’t seem...

Hi, I'm looking for some advice regarding the installation of a reverse osmosis system in my home. After some research, I'd like to buy the AquaFX Barracuda RO/DI Aquarium Filter unit (open to suggestions). I would likely only need to use it on a weekly basis. It seems the AquaFX is slightly...

My salinity is rising slowly rising and I don’t have an RODI system. I do have an RO system that I drink from but I was told that RODI is better for the fish. Any ideas what water I could use to top off my tank? (my RO has a TDS of <30).

Completely automate your water changes with everything included for $365. I spent around $780 on the equipment and it all worked great for the four months I used it but I decided to break down my tank and sell everything off. The auto water changing really made a difference in the stability of...

When I first got my RO Buddie (100 GPD) with DI cartridge, I paid approximately $70 for the set. I have had it for almost 9 months I've run through the DI about three times so far. I've changed the sediment and carbon cartidge once. Currently, it appears that my DI is not working. It is still...

For sale 6 stage BRS RODI system with inline TDS meter and pressure gauge. RO membranes were replaced 2 months ago and sediment filters are all a couple moths old. System is currently putting out 0 TDS water. $200 shipped.

Looking for some advice here... Last week I sent in an ATI ICP test for both my tank water as well as my RODI. The results unexpectedly came back with 36ppb copper in the RODI water (as well as 4ppb tin). Where could this copper have come from? I don't have copper plumbing in my home, and...

I’ve been looking to add all three to my RODI system and have been watching some of BRS’s videos to see how it all goes together, but I’m confused. From what I can tell, the pressure switch from Aquatec can only connect to the booster pump or auto flush flow restrictor, not both at the same...

How many stages of RODi filtration do I need? I’m a bit confused.

Hi reefers I replaced all my filters, membrane and added another stage of carbon to my 6 stage spectrapure and now my TDS is reading higher after the carbon blocks. Is this normal for it to be 100 tds higher? The blocks have been flushed for a couple hours.

It occurs once or twice a year (actually more). I neglect to replace my RO/DI cartridges when needed. Maybe because I left it running for several days while on a trip. Or maybe because the last carbon block I bought was delivered 2 weeks later than expected. Or maybe because I had to do 2 * 70%...

Hey I'm new in the Tampa area and I'm trying to find a good LFS, I'm trying to get ro water and the store I've been going to around here has been terrible. The water I got there smelled like rotten eggs and I picked up some emerald crabs and they died shortly after I got them. So if you know any...

I bought an Aquatic Life 4-stage RO/DI Buddie that includes the DI and all. First couple batches of RODI water tested at 0 TDS. Last batch I just made shows 1 TDS, this was after about 25g of RODI water was made with this brand new. My waste ratio is about 3/1. Am I needing a better unit or is...

I recently saw a huge alk spike after switching salt mixes. After contacting the manufacturer, I got a reading of 8.3dKH on multiple titrations on "clean" rodi with the salifert kit. I dont have a TDS meter on hand. I'm assuming the water must not be very clean. Membrane was changed 6 months...

Hello, I have recently moved to a larger tank and larger holding containers and I have found that I need to replace my DI resin just about every week or else my TDS starts creeping up, which raises my ALK in my tank via ATO. I do have well water, so its gross. At the RODI unit, it goes in at...

I have been researching on starting a 10 gallon nano reef tank. I see people using ro/di water for refills/ toping the tank off. Do I need ro/di water for a 10gallon tank or would I be ok using petco’s Pacific Ocean water?
