All my coral are dying. Softies Lps sps are slowly dying.
Tanks year and couple months old.
Dkh stable at 8
Temp 77
Nitrate 3
any help would be appreciated.
Doesn't sound like the issue then. But replacing ever 6 months to protect membrane is goodNew rodi filters will be coming in couple days.
That's the only thing I could think of. Filters are year old but my tap water is 30 tds. My rodi is always zero
You should be able to find city water report online. Google it.Filter sock and carbon.
Changed lighting couple months before this started and everything was growing faster after lighting. Par is normal. 350 top 250 middle 150 bottom give or take. Xr15 t5 combo.
Not sure about my city water.
Never tested my rodi
I can’t really weigh in on this because I’m not a chemist and have never done an ICP before. But chlorine is 20,000 ppm. Should it be that high? I’d imagine we’d want our chlorine to be almost as undetectable as possible. You have more chlorine in your water than anything else. Twice as much as sodium. I think that’s a good starting point.
Chlorine is not 'normal'. Chloride is normalChlorine is the most abudant element in the ocean.
ICP test produces elemental constituants. Chloride is an ion of chlorine.Thats chloride - the fact that they labeled it chlorine - suggests It may be a worthless test. What problems led you to do the test in the first place - thats the most important thing

Yep - I just said that. ..... The point. being - its not labeled as 'abnormal' so - I wouldn't be thinking ab out checking municipal water supplies for chloramines. but - frankly I think (heresy alert) ICP testing is for the most part worthless. I.e. - you're right - based on their report you cant tell if its 'chlorine' or 'chloride' in your water - whats the purpose of reporting it?ICP test produces elemental constituants. Chloride is an ion of chlorine.
It's an ion of chlorine. The element is chlorine. ICP tests the ion mass which indicates the element present.Chlorine is not 'normal'. Chloride is normal
I know - I repeated it again lol. I said the same thing. There is no point in reporting 'chlorine' in this type of test - it is meaningless - and - is highly unlikely to be due to a municipal water supply problem or RODI problem with Chlorine or Chloramine. I.e. we agreeIt's an ion of chlorine. The element is chlorine. ICP tests the ion mass which indicates the element present.
