I currently make my own saltwater using the above, however , I've had to switch to using my kitchen sink because the valve on the RO/DI hook-up keeps popping off when I turn on the water. Any suggestions on what I can do so I can switch back to the utility sink.
Attach this to the utility sink faucet then screw the ro line to hose thread portion and you are connected

I can not see anything but I would guess you need a different adaptor
Are you saying put a different adaptor on the faucet that can handle the pressure?

Welcome! Glad you joined. Would need more info but sounds like plumbing adapter and/or adjustments of some sort are needed. I'm sure you'll figure it out! There are areas of the Forum for different things, so IF you are seeking specific help and could provide photos etc then perhaps start a thread over in:

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread under Forum > Member Aquariums and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This might help you find people local to you in Ridgely:

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:
