so its an interesting theory.i really don't talk much about this but it this was a very similer conversation i had with Jake adams at lunch at RAP NY. he believed that in that fact as well and in fact some of reef builders tanks are supplied with water that is filtered with sediments and carbon blocks/sediment . this was a pretty long conversation we had but ill give the key notes of it.

you need to have a lot 3-6 carbon blocks in a row and mulit sediments
the flow rate needs to be pretty low as you want to give the filters enough time to collect all the organics it can collect.
Starting the tank at a low lighting settings
if you turn up the lights and expect to grow algae untell your reef or live rock has matured enough to process the extra nutrients. for the most part it also really matters where you live because every state county city processes water differently.

100% agreed. its noticeable when my tds is over 0. visually algae starts quickly; and I run my Nitrates in the 100s and my phosphates over 1 dosing copious pods and phyto daily. I would have expected a few ppm wouldnt make a difference but garbage in garbage out.
I've upgraded the whole house. DIY style - anyone can rent those pipe crimpers!
->
I'm on the lookout for someone's old RODI system to convert into DI stages. want to try separating out my anions and cations to see whats what. probably should have installed a softener system.

I’ve never run a softener with an RO before I know it helps make the water feel better but I wonder if it cleans the water.

Over 100ppm wow now that’s crazy! What’s your alk at?

I heard softening makes your membrane more efficient and your DI last longer is the only advantage because it strips out the alk and Ca (hardness).
My town is on well water so its really hard. Was great for Cichlid keeping because It was ready to go out the tap for them.

I'm dosing 4-8oz of phyto and a cupful of pods daily though so those readings may be off/indesciminate.
