I need a phosphate test then..

Im doing lots of water changes..but i have hermits and snails. Maybe my RODI has too high of a TDS

It's about time for you to change it I bet, we bought it at around the same time, and you'd use more water than I so because your tanks bigger.

Phosphate tests don't help much because the algae is constantly eating it up meaning you won't get a good reading.

Good point there about the phosphate test. Maybe just check your TDS as a starting point.

Yeah, agreed. I'll be getting one but around christmas time..ok so i wont waste the cash on a PO4 test. I also need a tds meter though
 
You should really think about getting a brs unit. It comes with a Tds unit AND a flush kit. Its also cheaper to replace the filter media.
 
Coming home from a couple days away seeing family. Not worried about the tank at all. I bet the guys are hungry though.

Any fish suggestions? In particular, wrasse or angels? Jack wants to risk it with an angel. I want to get a wrasse, possible a flasher wrasse or Melanarus. Ideas? Im trying to con mom into letting us drop by one of the best stores near LA, hopefully we can go! Lol
