farkwar Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hey you. Thanks again for the neophos. I've got high phosphates Needed to tumble a little GFO. Need a butane torch. I don't think my creme brulee torch will work Thats a propane torch. But a little butane torch works just fine. A stove would work. I have found that rigid airline tubing works better. Its flexes well around corners. And being hollow and air filled, it floats when accidentally knocked into the tank. Quote Link to comment
Arce Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 Im just really lazy and dont really want to scrap the back glass. Does look good though with a clean back. 1 Quote Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 How are you adjusting your WB? Any post-processing? Quote Link to comment
Arce Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 How are you adjusting your WB? Any post-processing? Well the camera I'm using is just a PS camera, i honestly don't think you can manually adjust it, so i just use auto. The camera isn't the best in terms of adjusting things but compared to what i was using, and the fact that i don't need anything crazy, it works. For those pics i didn't do any post processing, too many and didn't really care. But the FTS i tried working on in Flikr. Quote Link to comment
Arce Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 So i caved, scrapped the back glass. Looks very clean. But lets hope my alk doesnt swing because of it. Didnt think about that till i was done. 1 Quote Link to comment
Arce Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Bahhh i have to change my RO, getting a TDS reading. I've put it off for too long. Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I'm running 20-30 sometimes 40 before I change anything. Quote Link to comment
Arce Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 I'm running 20-30 sometimes 40 before I change anything. Lol wow. I changed my other cartridges when i hit 5, but never changed the RO. Figure I might as well do it now. Quote Link to comment
markalot Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I change before I hit 1. Don't change RO unless you need too. [Pre-filter, Carbon block] - change these on a regular basis, they protect the RO filter from getting clogged with sediment or damaged by certain impurities in the water. [RO Membrane] - Change the RO membrane when TDS out of the membrane (prior to the DI filter) goes above ~ 5% of the input TDS or pressure is significantly reduced (it can get clogged) The RO membrane protects the DI and extends its life. If all the DI has to do is reduce 2 TDS to 0 then it might last a year or more. Quote Link to comment

In other news my alk came in lower than usual which is surprising. It tends to sit at 7.1 but today i tested at 6.88, increased by 1 mL. 1 Quote Link to comment
