I am doing training to learn about peritoneal dialysis, which uses diffusion across a membrane to remove waste products from people with kidney failure.

Has anyone heard of using a membrane and freshly mixed saltwater to remove nitrogen/replenish trace elements this way?

I heard of one system years ago. It was very expensive. Like thousands and thousands of dollars.

Ocean creater II is $4,000.

IMHO $5 of macro algae will make a better aquarium

man, they seem questionable. If I read that right, dailyseas is just an AWC system that runs your salt water through a RODI unit first, to save the salt and have use less new salt water in a water change. Which doesn't explain how they maintain stable parameters. And Ocean Creator seems like a wildly expensive AWC system..

Yeah i wouldnt buy it. Its just a sort of continous water change thats makes the saltwater on the spot with tank water i think.
