Update: So my tank was doing a little better this morning after the water change yesterday. Today I added more carbon and modified my reactor to run a lot more water through it with out the carbon moving around. Just checked on the tank again this evening and seems like it's going back down hill a little. I am planning on doing another 20% water change tomorrow as well as add another poly filter. The one I had in there from last week hasn't gotten as red as the first one so maybe it is still doing something, but I will replace it tomorrow.
I do have a question about my RO/DI unit. its a 4 stage 75 gallon per day unite from marine depot. I have had it running for about a year and a half all on the same filters. I never really thought to replace the filters because the water has always lowered down to 0 ppm. The di resin has only slightly changed color near the bottom, and the sediment filter is still pretty white. I am on city water, not sure if that helps. My question is though, Could their still be stuff coming through my RO/DI system even reading 0 ppm for TDS?
Also I think I found the source of my pink pigments. I am feeding my tang green ocean nutrition nori and heard of red nori turning skimmer pink. I took a small piece in a little tank water and it turned a little pink over an hour or two. I am currently soaking another piece in tank water from my other tank to see if it will turn that water pink, or if the other water just turned pink over time.
Any advice on the RO unit would be cool.
Thanks, Dylan.
