Berlibee Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 Just a quick update: System looks good and maturing. I really like the looks of the rocks now, very cool colors and textures with a few algae on it. Water params are stable. I don't see colors changes yet after adjusting the light's intensity with a PAR Meter, but some corals started to shift colors it's just not so visible now. But only 2 weeks passed, I hope to see it clearly in the next two weeks. Also got this cool nem and a few fishes will update the livestock list later. Cheers! 5 1 Quote Link to comment

As would like to TRY and hard plumb it (Also subbed) Sure but there is not much to show, it's this tank: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/7-5-gallon-cube-tank-standard-glass-mr-aqua.html With two drilled holes for IN and OUT for 1” BULKHEAD and just 3 walls small podium. Just don't make it high or the light will be to close to the water surface. Send me your phone number by PM. I'll send you a video from my phone in Whatssup for example or Facebook link to your profile. 2 Quote Link to comment

teenyreef Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I just got an ATI test kit and their 3 part kit. I'm going to try it instead of my current dosing set up in my 40g. Are you doing their dosing too, or just the testing? 1 Quote Link to comment

I took the sample from a buckets that I didn't clean for a few weeks. So also more that happy with how the RO/DI is working. 12 hours ago, teenyreef said: I just got an ATI test kit and their 3 part kit.

I did switch to their parts as well yes, I see no point of using regular parts when we can use the same thing but with trace elements. I wanted to report on it after the second water test in 2 months from the start to have a better understanding of how it's working. At this moment 1 months with no water changes and everything is doing well. Dosing 4ml a day from 10 000 ml. hehehe .... but my tank is not using Alk. that fast yet. 2 Quote Link to comment
DaveFason Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Cool to see these tests Alex. Makes me want to finally send off a few samples to see how my tank is doing. I may try to make it out your way to check out the store. 1 Quote Link to comment

I have this one: http://spectrapure.com/MaxCap-Manual-Flush-90-GPD-RO-DI-System It's saying providing 99.95% Silica Removal I think maybe I just need to clean the buckets with RO/DI water more often. We will see what the next water test at 2 months mark will show, I'll add a water sample directly from the RO/DI next time not from the bucket. Quote Link to comment

If there is a lot of silica in your source water then it will get exhausted faster. 1 Quote Link to comment
Berlibee Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 Interesting thing happening, for more than a month my Alk. is 9.3 and not changing. I'm not doing any water changes, corals are very happy and growing, have good coloration. Sending second water test to ATI now to see what are the parameters of the water after 2 months with no water changes. Sure I've tested them before sending to compare, the most interesting part is that my Hanna ULR didn't show the result of PO4 so high it was lol ... 0.6+ wondering what are the real levels of phosphates now. Tank looks super clean and healthy though. Quote Link to comment
