My name is Jeff, new to reefing but I have been obsessed with reefing ever sense I discovered 52 weeks of reefing during the start of the covid shut down. Fast forward a few years, I am in the midst of a modest [3800 sqft] home addition. I saw the opportunity to prep for a few [5 reef tanks] each tank space is load rated for a 40g to 120g depending on the spot ever space has its own 20 amp gfci deducted circuit. And the premium feature of various RO tubing [1/2in red/drain line, 1/2in white/salt water, 3/8in blue/RO top off and 3/8 black, whit and red for dosing/things I haven't learned i need yet.
Would be very interested to hear from yall what i could have done better what I missed and even what I may have wasted money on. O yah I do have a 20aio IM and a 40 breeder growing coral to stock all the new tanks I'll be starting.

Nice RO/DI setup! Make sure to get a pure water tester if you haven't already. This way you know when to exchange the DI resin. 🙂

Thanks I have a pressure gauge before and after the three RO membranes and 2 [three sensor tds meters] and no booster pump because my pressure is 90 psi before the 2 sediment filters [5 mic then 1 mic] all parts are brs. If there are any changes or tweaks u would make, let me know [still quite new to all this] would love to learn from those before me as I dont have any reefer friends
