metrokat Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 I found my old notes on silica, that I took during my conversation with Charles from Spectrapure. Colloidal silica is a large molecule and RODI units will remove it. Silicic Acid and boric acid are weakly ionized and difficult to remove. Resins aren't selective. If it can remove silica, it will also remove arsenic, nitrates, phosphates. If you can take out silica, you can take out everything. Soluble silica is reactive silica. It is ionized. It is dependent on pH. I'm sure Benny knows what I wrote. It's all greek to me. Quote Link to comment

StinkyBunny Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I told you that Yellow tang was gonna be an asshole. I don't think there's another marine fish I dislike more than a goddamn Yellow Tang. Get rid of it and go Purple. 3 Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Seriously, though, I love the current blue background. I don't like the gray as much, but how much work is it to change? Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Current background is just frosted, no color. The water and lights make it seem blue. Tricked ya! 1 Quote Link to comment
