Hey @Randy Holmes-Farley and the rest of the gang!!! So I’ve been racking my head trying to figure out a way to re use old water. There may already be threads like this so feel free to tag me some of there are!!! But being in the hobby for a while running shops and finally starting my own, I’ve been trying to figure ways to be more sustainable. I’ve tried to find more research specifically about the Georgia aquarium filtration details/methods, since the re use 99.9% of water. Obviously a much larger scale than anything I would ever do, But it got me thinking is there a way to re-use aquarium water. Since I aquaculture corals my personal reef recipes include water changes once or twice a week for best results, as everyone knows that adds up in water after a while. Using a LSS(life support system, like the Georgia aquarium may be ineffective as I’ve read a lot about how those specific set up’s strip the water of most trace elements and such. But what if all the water I took out ran through a LSS that stripped it of everhthing and re added the trace with a product like neomarine kalibrate and re used the water? Would it work? Would it be a cost saver compared to the maintenance on the LSS? I’m not to familiar with ozone, and the LSS yet but would love to learn! Sorry for the rant hope anyone can help potential create an idea!! If it’s feasible or not!!
