danbstrong said:I dont use it but might be container your mixing in when i put my ro in my culigan container i get less than 10 on tds but if i put ro in a 5g bucket it reads over 40 on tds
reefrunner69 said:Have you tested the water freshly mixed still in the brute can? That's what I'm interested in, and how high. I would mix some up in a glass container to test but I am out of salt.
bavass said:Yes i run all tests with every new bucket the bucket i am using now is 2 weeks old
Saratj1 said:So forty TDS would that be parts per thousand?
reefrunner69 said:So I added 5 gallons of RO/DI water to my mixing can and turned on the mag-drive 7 pimp I use for mixing...waited 2 hours and tested the freshwater. The readings were 0 ammonia, so it's not the source water and it's not the mixing container, only leaves one thing it could be....the salt.
I already had a bucket of reef crystals coming from foster & smith, will be here tomorrow, so it wasn't that big a deal, but if you use the red sea coral pro salt...watch your levels. I probably got some out of a bad batch.
