00W's AIO Smorgasbord

[kingranch2003]

They must know that you have a good strain of the strats lol I am excited since my new corals should be coming in on Tuesday. Only problem is the glue I ordered from BRS arrives on Wednesday although it may be a good idea to put them in the sand bed to acclimate to the water anyway. It is going to be one difficult task to dip all of them and acclimate them all especially since they both will be going into two different tanks

Brs glue? Brother go to harbor freight and get a pack or two of this. You wont waste a whole tube from it getting dried out or wet. This is cyanoacrylic glue and is reef safe, and it's probably 1/10th the price.

BRS's reign in price gauging is over !

I received an order of 39 corals from SBB once. The next day I got another 7 from another company and 12 more from either TSA or AquaSD (I don't remember which). That was an interesting 2 days of acclimation and everything.

You never told us that you hit the lottery Tim!

Last one I promise. I had to do it though. I would be down for an Ole Miss Indiana game though. I still think Indiana is going to win but.....

its funny how they always say "the SEC dominance"

Its funny because I went through bottles of the Seachem reef glue at like $12 a pop at my LFS but honestly the price vs size of this one is not too bad assuming it does not get dried out... still i was tired of buying those reef glues that were such a small size.

I will have to look at the harbor freight bundles though. Its nice when its a small bottle. https://www.harborfreight.com/super...6768645594&adsetid=186768645594&product=68349

They actually had a couple different sizes that you could get for different projects and uses. Im usually gluing frag sized stuff, and I always make an epoxy/glue sandwich. So it doesn't take as much glue

those are great, I use them. I don't have the amount of frags a lot of folks have and if I lose a small tube after use its don't break the bank

 

[DarthRaiderBob]

Right or wrong?

The white line goes to my di stage, the black line goes to the waste.

So, is it set up right? I'm getting ready to make water.

Yeah no I meant the Seachem ones were a small/medium size. Not small enough to be one time use, but also not large enough to last a while. Half the time I would just throw them out since glue would come out the sides. The single use packs like you listed I would definitely be interested in since you just use it once or twice and you are set and its not a loss if one dries out. Still 10oz of superglue is a lot. I just need to make sure to keep it dry, clean the top, & keep it in a cool dark place.

It looks right are you able to show us were the water enters?

Its weird because I am not sure what's going on here.

That's just where the 2 waste lines combine into one.

This looks backward to me.

The product line should be going to the DI stage. It looks to me like the product lines (the outlets that are further out) are going to the waste lines. Can somebody else look at his as well?

The green highlights the line coming from the filters into the ro membranes it goes through the back membrane, the red line then runs to the front membrane while the blue goes to the waste hose.

I’m really not sure . You have your two outlet from the di going to both units . Mine has it going to the first one then into the second one . So mine gos thru all the filters and then thru one membrane into the other membrane . Mine was set up by the manufacturer. Maybe someone else can offer a solution .

 

[TheNative192]

It looks flipped but do you have a TDS meter. Easiest way to check is to see what the TDS is of the water going to the DI resin and what the water TDS is coming out the waste water valve. Do you remember the name of the unit you purchased. You can get a cheap one on amazon for like $10 dollars which is helpful.

Mine is similar to the diagram as well where the right tube is the waste water and the left tube is the clean water. Some units may have it differently though. Mine is from BRS

Exactly right. Just toss it if you have to at that price.

 

[TheNative192]

Here is mine for reference where the blue tube is the good water going to DI Resin and black tube is bad water.

This unit was given to me quite awhile ago. It's a brs 200gpd unit. The tds meter no longer works .
