The carbon block should never change color. The sediment filter may depending on your source water's TSS and iron content. The sediment block is there to protect the carbon block, which is there to protect the RO membrane, which is there to protect the DI resin. :)

Uhh,^^ got me worried now. Di cartridge changing color, bad??? Oops sorry for being confused and confusing

 

BRS sells DI color changing resin

Should rely on TDS reading, not the change in color from the DI resin. In addition, the dye that is used to make that color change reduces the usable lifespan of the DI resin by 15-25%.

Love this thread. I got my cadlight 34 a few months ago and being new to the hobby have discovered there is a lot to learn. I purchased a tunze 9002 which appears to be a mistake so am looking at the cad lights 50 skimmer. I have 2 questions:

 

1. Is your skimmer in the chamber next to the overflow or the one next to that?

2. Do you still have the sponges in the overflow with the floss on top and is the floss is a basket?

 

Appreciate any help you can give

Hey there, the cad 34 is designed in conjunction with skimmer as to provide efficiency and appearance. The skimmer bracket rests on the second glass baffle in the middle, which allows it to sit inside the sump area instead above the tank being visible.

 

II use one blue sponge where the water overflows with floss on top to catch large particulates. And I cut another in half and have it just before the return baffle since I have a chaeto basket, don't want that getting to my display!

It doesn't change the level, it unbalances the drain plate sitting flush... Hence it throws off the skimmer, I don't really have it tightened, just more to prevent it coming loose, if that makes sense...

Agreed, I like the heat except for a few players, I've always like my four teams: Warriors (Local), Lakers (Dad), Spurs (Dad), and up until Steve Nash left the Suns.

I want to see the Pacers do something, their slower offense is their big downfall IMO.

 

I also agree with Brad, based off what Popovich has done in the past, Kawhi will likely stay with the Spurs for a long time.

I'm not a heat fan, or a spurs fan, but I kinda expected this to happen. The spurs really are synced team. They execute the game with amazing ease. When you have key players that have been together so long, it just works! Wade and Bosch both have a record of subpar performances in the finals. Bron Bron can't do it solo. I will say this. The spurs played 4 amazing games of basketball. If your a true basketball fan you gotta admit that.

 

I think it's time for the heat to sit down and figure it out. Trade Wade and Bosch for Melo. Lebron would do better with 1 other great player than 2 players who are not consistent. That would be a awesome team. Those 2 guys would kill.

That is true. I think deep down he misses the Cavs. His heart will always be in Cleveland. Now that he has a couple rings, anything is a possibility. I could def see him going back to finish his career in Cleveland.
