    Best Chemical Filtration for Nano Reefs (w/o skimmer)

    in Nano Tanks

    · Edited by Tommy

    Im running Chemipure Blue in my NUVO 20 with no skimmer and no filter socks either, I just fill a section in the back with marine pure balls and I also have chaeto in one of the section.  Im doing 5g water change once a week.  Everything seem to be doing well.  Tommy

    Coral Box WiFi dosing pump tubing.

    in General Discussion

    So... I just got a Coral Box wifi dosing pump and it came with a few feet of the really small airline tubing, when I try to substitute with the regular size airline tubing it gets a lot of bubbles in the tubing.  I'm planning to run the doser from another cabinet to my sump and would need a lot more tubing than the ones supplied.   I've been trying to look for this mini airline tubing size 3mm I think from another user but with no luck.  Does anyone know where I can find some?  Thank you.

    You will not be able to use the BRS 150gpd Water Saver kit as it would require that you have 2 - 75gpd membranes. You could however convert your system to a 180gpd system by adding an additional 90gpd membrane. However, the 90gpd membranes are expensive and not easily sourced and if it was me, I would convert the system to 2 - 100gpd membranes for the same price as 1 - 90gpd membrane. But since you just installed a new 90gpd membrane there would not be of any benefit in cost to convert to anything else.

     

    The only items you will need to convert to 180gpd are: (Please note that the links are for representation and reference only)

    IMO, an insanely over-priced membrane - https://www.amazon.com/Spectrapure-90-GPD-Percent-Rejection-Membrane/dp/B016MN05IU/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?keywords=filmtec+ro+membrane+90+gpd&qid=1550106772&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmr0  

     

    A membrane housing - https://www.amazon.com/FS-TFC-Membrane-Quick-Connect-Fittings-Menbrane/dp/B071DY62J1/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=filmtec+ro+membrane+housing&qid=1550106848&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1

     

    A set of housing clips - https://www.amazon.com/Reverse-Osmosis-membrane-diameter-membranes/dp/B0185DRO66/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=ro+membrane+housing+clips&qid=1550106894&s=gateway&sr=8-4

     

    A bit of 1/4" RO hose - https://www.amazon.com/PureSec-4TU-WHI-Certified-70°F-120PSI-150°F-60PSI/dp/B01MT559ZE/ref=sr_1_12?keywords=1%2F4"+ro+hose&qid=1550106990&s=gateway&sr=8-12

     

    Hooking the 2 membranes together is simple but IMO you will have to have at least 55-60psi water entering the first membrane if you want the membranes to be efficient -

     

    The waste water from the 1st membrane is fed into the inlet of the 2nd membrane. 

    The waste water from the 2nd membrane exits the housing and is directed to through the flow restrictor (NOTE**Only one restrictor is needed**) and is discarded.

    If you want to use your flush (Highly recommended), only 1 flush valve is needed and should be plumbed so that the flow restrictor is by-passed when the flush valve is opened.

    The product water from both membranes is collected and is fed through the DI.

     

    Hope is helps,

    Tom

    Wow ..  Thank you so much for taking the time out to help me.  I think I will keep it as it is for now and maybe think about changing when its time to change out all the membranes and filters.  Thanks again!

    Spectrapure CSPDI-AF RODI system question.

    in General Discussion

    Hi!  I just got a RODI system used from a friend of mine last night and have a few questions.  The system is a Spectrapure CSDI-AF 90gpd and it comes with the automatic flush kit.  Do I plug in the flush kit all the time or only when I want to flush it?  Also what Am I supposed to do when its time to flush besides plug it in and for how long ?  The unit comes with the 3 line TDS meter and when making water last night I can only get the RO water at 4 and DL water at 0,  this is after changing out all new filters and membrane, was I supposed to have it flushed for a while first before start making water to use for the tank ?   Thanks in advance!

    Lets see those clowns.

    I was never into clowns much, but when I saw the black storms I really liked them because they remind me of Panda bears.. lol, I didn't think they worth the $200 a piece price tag so I didn't buy them at first.  Came home a few weeks ago and my gf surprised me with them so I guess I'll keep them lol.    BTW I dont know how u guys take such good fish pictures, took me like 15 tries to get that pic.
