+1 on this, if your fish are healthy and eating, the only stress they should go through is the shift from tank to tank. QT isn't necessary.

Well found out my RODI system didnt come with the DI unit! Btw i got the BRS 5 chloramine unit + which comes with an built in in line TDS meter and a membrane flush valve, no idea what the flush valve is though...

The flush valve is to flush deposites off of your ro membrane.

I flush my membrane for a few minutes every time I make water. You can see with the tds meter when you can flip it back to produce water.

Well looks like the lfs screwed me this time... They gave me the BRS 5 stage chloramine standard without the DI unit for 250$, the same price as the plus version...

Called the lfs and they said they can give me the DI unit for free! Little update! Cleaned out the tank and am planning on plumbing it tommarow!

Well semi-good, i paid for the plus which comes with a built in TDS meter, a membrane flush valve, and a airpressure meter but i only got the standard. 60$ waste.
Did you try talking to them about that? Maybe they can fix something up for you.

Well i didnt get the additives but they did give me the DI unit for free, had to pay 17$ for the DI resin though. Looked into the return pumps, gonna go with a mag 7. Also gonna get a wrasse for this tank, not sure what type yet but its definately gonna get one! Noticed when i was washing the tank out that there is a bunch of crude and dead stuff in the overflow, not much i can do since its only 3 inches wide.

Try getting a brush down there and just rinse it out.
