Im watching YouTube videos of how to do it an they are saying the same thing! Im not dumb after all my wife will be happy 😁

So I bought the Salifert Calcium, Alk, and Mag kits. I am having trouble (or I’m dumb one of the two) with the syringes. When I pull the reagent up the amount inside is way different than what the picture shows in the instructions. Is this normal?

Finally made my first gallon of RO/DI water!! Thank you all for your help!!!

Ok here’s the dilemma now. I can’t put the drain valve above the trap because the trap isn’t big enough. I can’t put it on the metal (like the guy at Lowe’s said to do). Any thoughts?

Yeah after looking at a diagram I realized that’s what it was LOL.

So after further review I think this is the waste water line. I just don’t know why it has a ball valve on it.

The used ro/di unit I bought looks like the waste water line is being cycled back through the ro membrane. Anyone know if this is normal?

I thought about doing that. Hope no one flames you too bad! If it works for you it works lol! I bought a used ro/di unit from a guy hopefully it works lol.

What salt mix do you all recommend?

I am looking into getting the RO/DI filter (I found one used fairly cheap lol). The Reef said they use Reef Flowers salt in their mix. I had tested it and the levels were normal but I’ll test it again tonight to double check! I am so grateful for this club! Everyone has been so helpful and kind!

I tested my water tonight and my alkalinity (carbonate hardness) is at 196.9 and calcium is at 340. I have the esv bionic 2 part but haven’t been using because the alk has been higher. My question is how do I raise the calcium without raising the alkalinity? I just did a 10% water change last night. I have been using the premixed salt water from The Reef. As always thank you all for your help!

Hey it’s a small talent!

Sorry to be that guy again but noticed this on my chalice plug that wasn’t there before. I went to pop it off and it came off easily. Any ideas??? (Again sorry for all the questions!!!)

So I know it’s a little blurry but after moving a rock around I noticed this coming out of one of my rocks.....need some help with the ID!

That’s really cool!!

Yeah that’s what I did lol

So I’m fairly confident this guy is a vermetid snail...should I leave it alone or take it out? If I take it out what is the best method? Thanks for your help!!

I came home and checked out the tank and saw my chalice (at least I think that’s what it is) with brown stuff coming out of the individual mouths. Reading online I’m guessing it’s dropping a deuce? Let me know what you think!
