Anyways I guess my Main question Is about my ROdi set up, heres a video -



Everything is running fine and I got my Leaking to stop from the spout side, but My question is will my "dirty" water (ro) Effect my unit if its hooked up to an irrigation line like it is in the video. and is the high pitch noise from my unit normal/ okay?

Also Iam still debating weather or not to drill my tank for the fuge/sump you can see to the right. If anyone would have any suggestions that would be awesome. So far my plan is a mame over-flow, as it seems like the safest option.

Also that is my live rock curing at the end - If you notice I have my filter with Bio-balls (ceramic) running in there. Is this okay to cure with my Bio-balls and to use them after? or will that become an issue?

PS If anyone has this PH meter could you let me know how to properly calibrate it - I follow the instructions but when I get the the second buffer to calibrate it with - It will read the same reading as before

Using the waste as irrigation is a great idea and perfectly fine. the noise you're hearing happens from time to time. it will sometimes stop on its own, if not you can disassemble everything and pit it back together. standing the unit upright might also help.

You can reuse those bio balls but you'll want to constantly check the water for no3 and po4 while you're curing. you don't want that stuff bound up in the bio balls.

I would calibrate your ph meter with 7.01 and 10.01.
