Hard water

[Illwelder]

I have a new reef and fish aquarium and my water is really hard. I used a 4 stage rodi filter system how do I fix this issue

Have you measured your output? More than likely your gonna have to add extra cartridges but won’t know for sure unless you have a number

What do you mean? Also, are you talking about after the RODI? After mixing with salt?

Seawater is very hard, and should be very hard.

I would not bother measuring hardness of RO/DI effluent. 0-1 ppm TDS water is fine no matter what a hardness test reads, and in reality it is very low.
