I'm pretty impressed with adding an RO booster. I was at 30psi with 6-8 TDS coming off my membrane into the DI; now the pressure is 65psi and the water off the membrane is 1 TDS. That's going to be a big savings in both DI media and water usage. I can't believe I waited almost 5 years to add one.

Thought I'd share: I've spent the last two weekends resetting the aquascape in my 120g main. The corals had grown to the point of where my flow was restricted and I noticed the fish did not really have room to swim...not to mention it just wasn't aesthetically pleasing to me anymore. I removed about a third of the original rock and re-arranged & trimmed the colonies so they have plenty of space to continue to grow in the future. The fish are enjoying all their new freedom of movement!
