“Why am I burning through my DI?” is a question that we get asked often. Read our latest blog on why this may be happening and how to fix it.

I'm relatively new to saltwater keeping and will be planning on getting a saltwater tank soon. I've always used Fritz Complete which gets rid of ammonia, chlorine, nitrite, nitrate, and heavy metals in the water for my freshwater tanks. I've heard that a RO/DI system is used to remove chlorine...

So I just finished my first water change, but I'm about 1.5-2 gallons short of new fresh saltwater. My current salt is reading 1.027 with a refractometer. Can I just add 1.5-2 gallon of RO/DI fresh water to make up the difference or should I mix 2 gallons which is what I'm in the middle of now...

So I have some RO/DI water that was made before I needed it but then it was stored in a trash can. It smells odd now so I’m assuming I can’t use it but someone suggested asking if there was a way I could “clean” it. This seems far fetched to me, but I’ll humor them. It would be nice to not have...

Hello, I just finished all the plumbing on my new 40 gal reef tank. I wanted to test and make sure there are no leaks and since I'm not ready because I'm still searching for rock, etc.. I wanted to run a test with just water from the hose and then drain it out when done testing. Once all my...

I put this system together a while back and was just about to rebuild it with new piping and schedule 80 gate valves, unions and other necessary items. Depending on your intended build, this is a complete system. I do automatic water changes, but I also use a Tunze 8155 for my ATO. Because of...

Hello everyone, I've been having issues with ammonium readings in fresh made ro/di water lately. I'm using this ro setup from BRS and swapped all the canisters last week, however the problem still persisted. So I upgraded the carbon block to this and took another reading again no change. Here is...

Hi, I’m swapping out my RO/DI filters and noticed the inside of the canisters were very dirty. Seems like carbon residue + dirt. Should I clean them and with what? I tried wiping them off with a paper towel but didn’t really work. Admittedly it’s been a few years since I swapped the filters...

Hey y’all so I just got into the hobby and recently bought a reverse osmosis. My question is do I also need DI system because my buddy who has tanks told me not to get the DI and just use seachem safe. I’m not sure if should just get DI anyway.

My tank, 55 gallon saltwater tank, is holding border safe nitrates. Kinda high but not killing anything yet. We have done water changes and added more rock, but still high nitrates. We finally tested plain tap water and out tap water is about at 15 nitrates. We have started looking at RO/DI...

I've heard API Stress Coat and Seachem Prime aren't really compatible with protein skimmers. What would another option be other than getting a reverse osmosis filter? Are there any other chemicals that remove chlorine and other bad chemicals that won't mess with a protein skimmer?

Residual chlorine (no chloramines) in the water mains where I live in Italy is between 0,03 and 0,05 ppm. Do I need a very good 1 mcr carbon block, or can I just get a cheap 10 or 5 mcr carbon block and replace it once a year? Is it recommended to test for chlorine after the carbon blocks, or...

Residual chlorine (no chloramines, only chlorine and chlorine dioxide) in the water mains where I live in Italy is between 0,03 and 0,05 ppm. Do I need a very good 1 mcr carbon block, or can I just get a cheap 10 or 5 mcr carbon block and replace it once a year? Is it recommended to test for...

Hi i'm new to reef2reef so i dont really know how tags work, but I do have a few questions, the biggest being how ro/di water works. Today I recieved an aquaticlife ro/di, and when I tested the hardness (my tap water is beyond unsafe due to it) in which it came out to 0 for the first time ever...

Hi all, Wanted to add a pressure tank/faucet to my ro/di unit. Right now I have a 3 way ball valve that allows me to switch from one brute container to another. I want to replace the one side/brute container with the tank/faucet. After the 3 way valve going to the tank/faucet side...

Hello Reef Friends, As I have been working on my build plan and budget I have discovered that RO/DI systems are not sold in Europe. From my LFS to online sites there are lots of RO systems, but no RO/DI. When I do find them, they are very expensive imports from the US. I looked into some water...

Hello everyone. I am in the process of setting up a water station in my house for auto top off and mixing water. I sure do wish I had the drawing ability of some of the water closet I have seen. My set is : 1- 6 stage ro/di. With booster pump 2 - two fifty five gallons drums 3 - 2 gallon ro...

Hey guys, I have Cyanobacteria, pretty positive, as it consistently creates mats of algae on my sand bed, rock, and corals. It’s more of a clinging issue to my zoas, urchin, and rocks. It appears red and won’t stop coming back. I have tested my parameters to 0 nitrates, ammonia, phosphates...

Hello, all! I just finished mortaring the scape for my soon to arrive Waterbox 130.4. On the MarcoRocks website, it says you can rinse under running water. Regretting that I didn’t do the rinse prior to mortaring everything. My question...Can this be done with city tap water if I let it dry for...

Over the past two days I’ve noticed a thin and spotty film on the surface of my RO water. Any idea what this is and will it hurt my livestock? I’ve been removing it just by putting a strip of filter pad while mixing water.
