Have you tested it for TDS before and after? Mine went from 335 TDS from the tap to around 380 as waste from the RO.

So I just hooked up my RODI 5 stage unit this weekend. I didn't know the ratio of good to waste water before running it for the first time. I was sure something was wrong because I couldn't believe the amount of waste water. I am no tree hugger by any means, but I hate to see one of our...

What does she wear? Tee hee hee. J/K, I just coudlnt resist.

Thanks for the links and advice Cmor. Innovator: I have a desjardini sailfin, starry blenny, and a mated pair of false clowns. When I say that Naso has ich, it really has about 5 small spots on one fin and 2 on the other. My concern isn't really the ich right now. The sailfin had a...

I don't think the rest of the marks are from ich. I have been noticing the marks increase over the past week. I only mentioned the ich, bc that was when my concern raised. The ich is very minor right now (like 5 dots on his fins). I only mentioned that beause it is a sign that he is...

Every Naso Tang I have seen has little scratches or marks on its body. I have been told it is from rubbing up against the rock durings it aclimation when they are shy, but mine looks like it has huge white markings all over (even next to his mouth.) Mine has been in the tank for 3 weeks now, and...

Thanks for the link. I didn't see him in there though. Coral looks happy though so I guess I wont worry for the time being. Thanks again:wave:

I got a Goniopora a couple weeks ago. I saw some kind of line between some of the heads as I was putting it in my tank. I didn't think anything of it at the time. This was 2 weeks ago. I just saw that "line" swimming between the tubes as they were extended today. I poked at it because I...

I have a 90 gal bow front, and am looking to buy a sump soon. What is the ideal amount of water I want to circulate with my return pump? I have heard a wide range from people from 500-900 gph. I have also read that I don't want to run a bigger pump on my skimmer then my return pump. Is that...

I am getting the CPR 102 overflow box. How do I figure what size return pump I will need? Max flow rate for that box is 1200 GPH, and the top of my tank measure 4' 2.5". Any suggestions?

Thanks for the advice and thanks for the welcome Mike. I really appreciate all the experience and knowledge on here.

Is this illadvised? The article I read on them said they will kill other shrimp, but they are okay together in a larger tank. Since "larger" is relative, I am not sure if I can get away with it with 90 gal. How much of a threat can a shrimp be to fish? I can see if I put some small ones...

I have a 90 gal bow front w/ 200+lbs of live rock. I am setting this up as a reef tank, so there currently isn't any fish in it. It has fully cycled and I recently added a small CUC that includes a skunk cleaner and a peppermint shrimp. The wife and I really like the shrimp and have looked at...

I am very new to SW aquariums. I have had my tank for 2 months now. My wife thought they were pretty and I have always loved them, so it was a no brainer. What started as me purchasing a living piece of furniture has suddenly turned into an addiction. I make random visits to the LFS during the...
