Love the tank pics! You and your wife will find all kinds of information on here. And most importantly, you will find friends. Try to get involved in a local reefing club and between them and us, you and your tank will flourish. :D

Need help on RODI problem. Lost pressure on gauge. Tested pressure coming into booster pump, 60 psi, tested pressure out of booster pump over 100 psi, pressure on gauge now 25 psi. Have replaced stage 1, stage 2, and stage 3 filters and membranes in February. Was ok until this week. Rechecked all parts, still showing 25 psi and 200+ on the outside of the TDI monitor.

Not an RO filter expert, but I would ask over in the Equipment forum.

Welcome to the team, sorry for all the challenges but it is looking great. We have a few filter vendors on here, they will have you working in no time.

Your comments and recommendations are appreciated.

You can start a “build-thread/ tank journal”, there is a link in my signature... you even get a nifty badge for starting one ;)

You can use that to document progress, record changes and parameters, or just share lots of fun pictures!

Welcome to R2R!
