Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
did a little today, changed out my RO/DI filters, reloaded my DI, they went about 7 months. the sediment filter was visibly needing changed, and the TDS creeped up to a big 1, so i did the change. its easy and cheap. the filter for my fridge costs me $60 bucks. thinking about setting up just an RO for it. I also finished the mobile fuge bucket since i have some clean chato on the way. Made a custom stand for it to get in the same height as my sump on the 40b. and also have a stool that works for the 20G AIO. I do have an issue with nutriants in the 40B and will be running the fuge when I am home, which is 7 out of 14 days.

Little hint change every 2 months minimal to prevent cheap. Especially if visibly dirty. The clorine will kill those 2 carbon filters in that time to and then decompose membrane quicker. I flush before every water fill. I flush drinking water once a week I also turn of my membrane that's 99 percent when not in use to preserve it.

my DI was brown about 75% of the way up. My water supply is not all that bad. I was suprised it went this long
 
taking my sister to the doctor in the morning, hope its good news, If you have the time say a prayer for my sister Susan, she and i are the last of the Mohicans, good night everyone.
