  1. So I have a 75 gallon set up right now. 8 months in. Purple coralline growing everywhere. 

     

    I have a yellow tang, two ocellaris clowns, 2 damsels, and a strawberry dottyback. 

     

    most of my corals are green

     

    I need some color in the tank. want to add some fish. what do you guys recommend? thanks!

  2. The spiroid looking thingy had this white string coming out of it had to snap it off the coral spine.

     

    There were only two of the bubble algae which I removed.

     

    The montipora. Should I leave it on the sand or move it up on a rock? It's almost covering the whole rock it's on.

     

    What can I get to take care of the diatom? Thanks!

  3. One I'm guessing is bubble algae. the other two I dont Know what exactly they are.

     

    The algae on the sand looks different than what I've seen before. When I moved it, it was all mushy and clumping up.

     

    The snail looking thing was attached to my candy cane coral stem.

  4. Thanks everyone for the comments. Right now I have the 3 part filter going to the first membrane which I found out is 75gpd And then that goes to the DI resin. So I would get another 75gpd plus the kit and connect that so the flow goes first membrane to 2nd membrane to DI? right?

     

    Once this is done I would need a 150gpd flow restrictor? And that connects to the waste water line? Thanks again everyone

  5. Thanks everyone. I had a flow restrictor built in but it was clogged up so I bought a quick connect flow restrictor

    So best thing for me to do is get another 50gpd membrane and connect that to the other making it 100gpd. or since connecting it to the waste water isn't recommended then maybe just sell my 50gpd one and get just one 100gpd? 

  6. Quick easy question. Is the membrane the part of the system that determines the gpd? I currently have just a 50gpd on mine. All I would have to do is get a 150gpd membrane to speed up the process right?

     

    And 2nd question is, how do you guy minimize the waste water? Can you connect a 2nd membrane that connects to the first membrane dirty water output?

     

    TIA!

  7. so you bought Bob's old r/o? If you need a capillary flow restrictor tube, I have one available for free. It may be longer  than yours but you can cut it to length.

    Sending you a pm

  8. Well. It's clearly clogged. If it were me, I would try boiling water, blowing, whateves. Good luck.

    glad you're awake this late. Thanks for the advice. will give it a shot before I get in bed lol

  9. Put your lips together and whistle.

     

    Or blow. Or just replace the pipe and the end piece. Up to you. I'd go with a replacement, what size tubing, Home Depot probably has it.

    This is the flow restrictor tube. It's really tiny. Can't even stick a needle in it

  10. There was this weird restrictor I removed. Had a long wire stuck to the end of it. Now I get waste water but the clean water stopped lol

     

    When I plug up the dirty water the clean water starts to come out.

  11. Hello once again. I just got my rodi set up (after buying it and letting it sit for a few weeks) it was used. I got it set up and I get drops coming consistently on the clean end but nothing coming from the dirty water end. Was this a shot rodi?
