Hello, I am working on getting all the plumbing together for my 270G DT and approximately 70G Sump. The sump is not underneath the tank, but located behind the wall that the tank is on. I was planning on using 2 cor-20 pumps for my returns. One was going to run a fluidized canister and the...

So my tank is coming in in about 2-3 weeks, but my sump is still 2 months out. Has anyone setup a temporary sump using a brute trash can just to get the water flowing while they cycle the tank and then plum the real sump when it arrives?

I think my water saga is finally complete. I have setup my degasser with the 5800 pump and my DI resin has lasted over 50 gallons with almost no color change! Below is my full setup It isn't pretty yet, but I wanted to do a proof of concept before I made the cabling look pretty. On the left...

Ran into issues with the degasser. The Xperia aqua doesn’t work as expected. Once it turns off, it has to be manually turned back on. I didn’t realize that when I got it. The degasser is overflowing due to me making more water than gravity can push through my 4 DI stages. I’m going to try and...

Not sure how this impacts TDS, but I know low temp water does lower the throughput of the ro membrane. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I do, but this system is nowhere near my apex. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This looks nice, but My top won’t be flat :( Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am looking for a high low sensor RODI controller. Does anyone have any experience with either the spectrapure option https://spectrapure.com/products/dual-float-solenoid-valve-controller-assembly?variant=32188449980515 or the tunze RO controller...

Can you explain how you degass? I just built a degassing chamber that is 4ft high, but it keeps overflowing from the top faster than gravity is draining it through the DI. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Built my degassing chamber. Did a leak test today, but haven’t hooked it up to the RO system yet. It holds about 2 gallons of water. I am using 2 air stones which I think will provide ample oxygen to degas. I tested the XP Aqua RO buddy and it worked as expected turning water off when the...

Got my CO2 test kit...I have almost 95PPM CO2. That is very high from my understanding. I am in the process of building a 4ft high degassing chamber. I have already purchased all of the PVC piping that is required. I am waiting for the XP Aqua RO/DO Flood protector to come in so that I dont...

Making some progress. I have ordered the Geo AFR sump...15 week lead time. I think I’m more excited about the sump than the tank! tank is being ordered tomorrow. Boy was that a hassle. The 30” stand wouldn’t fit through the door so I had to have a custom 2 piece stand that can be built on...

Yeah I have well water and the TDS after softening is around 900. I have a booster pump and permeate pump to help the RO rejection rate and then I have the BRS pro DI (cation, anion, mixed bed) I haven’t made DI water in mass yet, but it has worked great on small batches for me. Sent from my...

Does anyone have any experience with 27" high tanks. I was originally going to go with 84x30x27, but the price differential between 84x30x25 is fairly significant. I am curious if anyone has any pros and cons of 25" vs 27" height. Thanks!

Making small progress as my tank quotes trickle in. Added the BRS triple DI saver to my 5 stage drinking water system. My house has well water that I soften and remove iron from. TDS going into the RO filter is very high at around 800-900. Then leaving the RO membrane it’s down between...

I am going to be getting dry rock and curing/cycling it. The plan was to get some brute trash cans and throw rock in there like you mentioned. The hardest part is trying to figure out if I want regular rock or the shelf rock to aquascape with.

Yeah he is quoting about 12-15 week lead time right now for a custom sump. I am not in a huge rush as everything will take me while to get together.

Slight change of plans. I might be going with a Geo sump. Anyone have an experience with either of them?

No updates on the tank yet, but I have started the build out of the fish room. 2- 20Amp circuits installed. I didnt have any GFCI outlets available so I installed normal ones, but they will be replaced. I also started making something similar to the Adaptive Reef Controller Board. I could...

Hello Everyone, I have been out of the hobby for quite some time now (5+) years, but used to have a BioCube and then a 65 Gallon tank. I am finally getting back in and going big! Currently the plan is to have the tank in our fully finished and air conditioned basement. The tank size is going...
