Biggest Reef Myths

Recommended Posts

I love when people post stuff like this.....

 

You do you realize when you don't use proper grammer you sound like a child. Not only that, but an uneducated child. If you want to have people here to help you, don't call them nerd know-it-alls' (yes buy the way it KNOW not NO). For the next time you have a serious question they won't help.

 

Also notice that Nuhtty that been a member for over 2 years, and has quite a few post. This means he probably knows what he is talking about and you should listen. (Besides the sarcasm, which I might add has always made threads more interesting.)

 

If anyone has growing up to do it would be you.....

 

RED

know-it-alls and grammar and yes, by the way, it's and posts

Try spell check. :)

You have to have a lot of posts on nano reef to be a good reefer.

:lol:

 

just stoking the fire, me and my buddy are pretty amused by this.

 

It is amusing ;)

Congrats!

 

This thread contains just as many myths as it attempts to debunk.

True dat!

 

Nuhtty, I need a pager so you can alert me as you sign on :) And you are a prick.

I, too have found this to be true.

I hear the term RO/DI thrown around far too much, distilled water is by definition 1 meg ohm water, RO or Reverse Osmosis is simply one of several ways to make high purity water.

 

Mr. MegaYacht

 

 

Umm....no

 

Distilled water is water purified by the process of distillation. That would be the definition. If it's typically water with a resistivity greater than 1Mohm/cm, I cannot say for certain. However, it is the method of purification that defines the type of water, not the purity.

 

By contrast, RO water is purified water produced by reverse osmosis. RO/DI is water purified by reverse osmosis, then a dionizing resin. No numbers, just names.

 

Edit - hell, why not see what definitions of distilled water I can find on the internet. Seven seconds later.....

UH! No offense but Dumb, dumb! You need to OWN the boat!

 

Mr. MegaYacht

 

 

Dont you mean"THE MORE SHALLOW?"

 

Tang

 

So what it is the RESULTS that matter not the process.

Ok The term RO and DI are different but for the sake of those less into the tech of the issue the end result is the same UNLESS you take it to the extreme.

Mr. MegaYacht

 

The results from one process differ from the other, therefore it matters.

 

Some brands of distilled water are contaminated with trace amounts of copper from the distillation process, because of copper piping. Even if the TDS were lower, the exact impurities left in the water can and are important. I'd rather use water with a higher TDS, but zero copper.

 

That said....RO/DI is of higher purity (measured in Mohm/cm or TDS) than distilled water. It has a lower TDS, and does not use copper in the purification process. Win-Win.

Just remember you can have RO water that is NOT DI water and while you are mostly correct about the copper issue, no INDUSTRIAL process and that includes the better quality distilled water providers us copper in their process any more. You can take that to the bank as I designed and MFGed damn near all of them.

He is pretty much right on with most stuff though...he says things other people dont want to believe to be true.

you want "good" staff?

Go back to RC.com

kthanks

 

Haha...staff over there aren't "good"...they're nazis.

 

The list of what you're not allowed to talk about on RC is longer than the list of members they have.

 

But apparently you can talk about dogs, horses and cancer.

 

Go figure.
