If we realize that we need a booster pump do not worry I have extra pump I can send u for free. I no longer need it.

 

[Scott Christenson]

ok, until I get that delivered and installed how do you feel about us proceeding with distilled water, I can get it bulk from the local grocery store?

 

[Scott Christenson]

I'm going to have a 4 day weekend so it would be nice to really work hard on these issues.

I have many clean 5 gallon buckets with lids that we can use to transport distilled water from the store to home. Your call of course, but maybe we can just start with some large water changes and work on getting the alk down first.

I'm also working on cleaning up the sump now and will send pics soon of the skimmer in operation

If you doing that why do not you just go buy rodi from a lfs..is there one near by? It's the same efforts anyway

Sorry, I must have missed that, I'll stop and check on RODI water.

If we get you rodi we can plan a wc. So can you buy rodi water instead of the distilled? Do you have access to LFS?

 

[Scott Christenson]

ok, yes the lfs sells RODI saltwater premixed with Brightwell salt, can I get some today?

This is beautiful foam. Where is the water level inaide the skimmer? The lever where water turn in to bubbles?

 

[Scott Christenson]

ok, does this video so what you need?

Should we increase the water volume above the sump's recommended line?

This one is good and on sale.
It will also deal with chloramine if you have it in your water supply and it's on sale a bit

Question, I went and looked at our RODI again, no TDS monitor and we don’t have one. I don’t think we have ever checked TDS in 5 yrs. we have a well and septic system and frequently get fin rot for our fish, can this be related? My husband changes the filters when needed and the baffles. We have a BRS stage 4 75gpd. We had chlorine strips which makes no sense considering we have well water. This is what LFS told us we needed 5 yrs ago. Use different LFS now but he only said we need to change the filters and never mentioned TDS. Thank you in advance. Thought I’d ask since you guys are talking about RODI units. We have 55 gal barrel. 2 300 gal tanks and 93 cube. Thank you
