do you run a chiller?
A shadowbox picture frame. Just use a hole saw on the back for cords, a little marine Velcro or 3D printed mounts for the controllers.What was the idea? Why don't ya share it with us... I'm intrigued.
Great to see you're still tagging along. so close indeed.Great to hear/read this update.
Nice progress I see. You are so close to get this tank wet and then there is no stopping or slowing down.
It is good you take all the time to get the last bits sorted out.
Working on installing the Spectrapure Maxcap RO/DI. Ran into a couple snags along the way, one being my failure to read the label on the membrane I purchased a while ago.
Not only is it expired, I never put it in the fridge. ;Facepalm
I'm assuming this is trash now...?
I'm planning to run the RO/DI for a bit to clear it out since it's been in storage for at least 2 years, with some really old water sitting in the tubing and such.
When I do that, perhaps I could use the old expired membrane instead of using/dirtying a new one, or would that just contaminate everything and defeat the purpose? What do you guys think?
Gosh I'm flattered, thank you. I can't take credit for all the ideas though, most of them came from countless other incredible build threads on here, so credit goes to them! Good luck on your future upgrade. ;HappyThis is probably by far my favorite build thread, everything is so clean and well done. One day in the future I hope to upgrade my 20g to a 60 long using this as inspiration.
Cool, I'll give it a go.If the bag was still properly closed, I would still use it and check TDS of the output to see if the membrane is still doing its job.
If TDS is zero, you would be still good.
I have such a membranes in storage as well for a long time and did not have any issue with it when installing them.
Cool, I'll give it a go.
Also, the DI cartridge shelf life is 6 months, missed the memo on that too... Both of them were purchased nearly 2 years ago. Think I should give them a try anyway?
My current tap water TDS is 260 - woah. ;Jawdrop
Not good. I have seen over 1,000 TDS though so could be worse. They would only get a few hundred gallons before changing out the filters. I am loving my 37 TDS tap water BTW. My cartridges last forever. Actually just switched them out this weekend.
It doesn't hurt to try. Worst thing that happens is it doesn't work and you have to order more. Honestly as others have mentioned, if they were both sealed properly they will probably be fine. Your TDS is nothing to sweat, as @NY_Caveman said it could be much, MUCH worse. I made a poll a while ago and some poor soul had 1450ish TDS.... I didn't even know how to respond. Lol
And I have no idea how I've been missing all these wonderful updates !!! ;Shifty;Shifty
I know my tap TDS could be much much higher, I consider myself lucky to have tap water that’s of good enough quality to drink myself. I’m just saying it’s really high TDS for having used it with my tank for 2+ years. Will be very interesting to see how things change with RODI water.
Nice to have you back @JoshH now that you mention it I haven’t seen an update on your build in a bit, must check now...
