My Dream Build 150

@WIReefer I think it will be more than sufficient! I still have to get everything dialed in but I'll wait to get picky for the saltwater. Gonna have to start ordering some more fish for qt soon :)

Decided to upgrade my water game! 8 stage here we come :)

What the heck you trying to get water out of rocks? :p

 

[Zach B]

The sump is finally ready! Big shout out to @Reef-junky for spotting a major flaw in my return plumbing design & guiding me through the drilling process of glass & lending me the drill guide. I also want to thank @WIReefer & @JayRozzer for guiding me through it. I was pretty nervous to drill through the glass but all was well. I am glad it is done :)

Looks good!

Two DI or more prefilters? Are you running two RO’s?

 

[Zach B]

@ReefJunky Thank you. The 2 more stages are anion and another mixed bed to help with c02, silicates, etc. I may end up having to gas off my ro before the di but hoping not. It wasn’t too expensive to add on so i figured why not

 

[WIReefer]

Nice job on drilling the sump! Glad I could help!

Are you on well water?

 

[Zach B]

@Reef-junky Yea we are & have higher than average c02 levels that we know of. Going to have another test done soon, I lost our original well test from years ago

CO2 isn’t and ionic compound

[Zach B]

The higher c02 levels are expiring our di resin faster than I'd like, hoping this helps a bit. If not, ill have to gas off the water before the di

 

[Reef-junky]

Don’t know if that’s really going to be effective

 

[Zach B]

If not I'll have to get another brute to use as another storage for water, trying to avoid that for now. I guess we will see

 

[Reef-junky]

I would probably go this route

[Reef-junky]

CO2 messes with the anion-exchange process. I would think you will still burn through the anion resin to save the mixed resin. This looks like marketing BS.

 

[Reef-junky]

If the anion resin is just a much as the mixed then I don’t see the point. Maybe I’m missing something.
