And this, ladies and gentlemen, are why Billy's corals are infused with neon and unicorn magic!
Ehh..hopefully everything is OK now that I'm dialing my alk back in because now that I mixed a new batch of alk its different than the "pre-made for one time" bag I got from brs. 381 grams is a different potency than the first bag I got that weight about 311. It's good because I use less...bad because I have yo dial it back in. Smh

Water so pure you could actually drink it and not chew it?
Hey I like grits! Just not in my water.

My water isn't too bad around 200 TDS, but the turbidity, ugh... I still get neighbors asking if my water is brown, to which I reply nope.

Here was my last sediment filter change

THAT looks like some crunchy, chewy, savory water. Your tap pours out beef bullion?

@SBB Corals i have the BRS 7 stage rodi unit. i make about 50-60 gallons of rodi water a month. How often do you recommend replacing the filters, resin (i have one anion, one cation and one mix), and membranes? I changed everything out about a month ago and added a booster pump. Not sure if it is coincidence but some of the corals seem like they are starting to do better since then (SPS are growing not just surviving).
we change all the filters 1 time per month and the membrain every 2 months.

i dont think this is a coinceidnece

I'm curious, I wonder if ICP test before and after a filter change would show anything.

I know you all use far more water than the average reefer, but these filters should last much longer.
