Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
At 80 psi it takes one and a half hours to produce 5 gallons.
Okay so I’m right on schedule. I did the math 100GPD. You’re correct it looks like it might be about a gallon short so 1.5 is what my unit is doing.

Figure I’d leave room to dump.

Excellent. Good day
My guess I’ll need just a little more filtration for my remaining 90ppm that my clean water is reading. Still confused about the RODI inline ppm reader

Maybe someone will chime in the inline ppm reader, equipment is not in my wheelhouse.
 
What is everyone’s average RODI gallons per hour?
I'm at 2 hours or so for 5 gallons.
28 psi.
No meter so can't help there.
TDS should be 0 going into your clean water bucket as far as I know.

I’m not the equipment guy but I knew I had to get my psi up so I purchased a booster. You might want to consider getting yours up.

I just have a little ro buddie.
Instructions say not over 35 psi it's just a flow through system from what I understand.

I did order a tds meter for it today just for fun after the posts about it.
Always learning.
You are the everything guy as far as I'm concerned. ;)

As I stated before, I’m not the fish disease or tech/equipment guy for sure.
 
best if inline meter probes are before "in" membrane and after "out" di canister
I run at 100 psi 150gpd membrane only get about 6 gal an hour

Was working on my truck AGAIN when posting but you ARE the equipment man and right in this situation.
My house pressure is 38 when everything is running typo earlier of 28 from my big fat fingers and I just read the ro membrane and it says minimum 35 psi.
Brains are not my strong suit as you know so I am looking into a booster pump right now to make this thing more efficient.
Thank you @kevgib67 once again. :) :star-struck:

Gonna need to pick your brain on install when I get the meter if you don't mind. :)
