    Not sure which one us Tom, but everyone has been extremely helpful. So much that I'm ready to get my stuff and start my tank over today. I'm excited to see how I can get it now that I have a little more knowledge. Thanks to all. 

    Tom is Origami. He is one of the most experienced people in the club and an awesome person. A true friend and gentleman :-)

    Glad we can help you out. Looks to me that your RODI unit mayyy be the cause of all your issues. But by fixing it it will/should solve the water "mystery"

    Looks like Tom is taking good care you.

     

    If that fitting leaving the DI is shot and it's more than the fitting, you can easily get a replacement canister. Those just screw to the metal bar and easily replaced if necessary. You're almost there!

    True, and they are standard sizes so very easy to replace.

    Ok I did try that when I was taking the pics. It was almost dripping out when my waster line is pouring out fast. Like the waste line will fill up a 5gal bucket in about 3-5 minutes. 

    Yes the waste line does pour out a lot of water, this is normal. At least in my experience.

    Thanks I am getting 1

    And also get a bottle of calibration liquid. It's only a few $$. I calibrate mine once a month and miner adjustments are almost always needed. A refractometer and calibration fluid is one of the cheapest and safest investments that you will ever make in this hobby. Always test your tank water AND your new saltwater mix to ensure that they are at the same salinity levels before you do a water change.

     

    This is the refractometer that I have

    Phosphates can/may be the cause. Have you tested with a reliable test kit? Phosphates tend to bond to rock and sand bed. If that is your case, the best course of action is to run a GFO media reactor. It will reduce the phosphates levels within a few days. That is providing that all the other levels are within an acceptable range
