My Reefer 525XL has been running for just over 7 months, using conditioned tapwater from the outset. Corals and fish are doing well (growth, color, etc.) but I've decided I'm not happy knowing that I am not doing the best I can regarding the quality of water I'm putting in my tank. Going forward I'll be using RODI for mixing new saltwater, filling my ATO reservoir, and for cleaning and rinsing equipment and materials.
So, as I'm currently waiting for my BRS 4-stage Value Plus RODI system to be delivered, I'm looking for advice (better yet for actual experiences) to help make the switch as effectively as possible, without detrimental changes. I'd like to minimize / eliminate any residual effects from my initial use of conditioned tapwater. I know... "start with RODI", but that ship has sailed.
I'll be doing daily testing through the change, so I can monitor for any parameter swings. One thing I will definitely be going after is a reduction in phosphates, which are currently at 0.25ppm.
Thanks in advance.
