Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Also, thank you everyone who chimed in on the rodi situation. I ordered all new filters of course the ro membranes were out of stock. Anywhere to get them cheaper than brs? I'll get them when I get paid again. I appreciate you all so so much.
Have you tried Buckeye Hydro?
 
Good morning Tom !
Really impressed with how you help Bob yesterday . I never New their was a older method to use for this device . Kudos !
Good morning CB!

Most of the credit goes to Thomas, he found the video and answered most of the questions I just noticed that the waste line from the second membrane was feeding the DI which was clearly wrong. Dual membranes can be run in parallel for just higher throughput or like Bob's setup which improves throughput and reduces waste water. The basic idea is to reprocess the waste water to get more RO from the same feed water. It does need either a booster pump or really good feed water pressure to work correctly though.

I use a pump because I have 7 canisters and dual membranes and the water does not have enough power to get through the system universally . But it’s is good . How ever I wouldn’t mind saving on the waste water . 🤑 We pay a about $100. Before our water bill because they tap into another city’s water . So if I run the two membranes separately could run with less waste water ??
 
You need to know about Kevin . He’s a Avid Ohio state fan and he has the affliction of putting his friends in a bottle .
Jar. He pickles them in jars.
 
I actually was born in Detroit and no matter what after my Florida teams do I’m a Michigan fan after that . 🤣
This is your response to yourself for telling Sam hello. Lol I love it
