Whats the difference between the chorimine monster that I can’t just run a standard carbon block before the rodi. It says contact time, but doesnt a dual stage reactor provide the same benefit?

Is it significant enough to get a $300 carbon filter?? All my RODI icp tests come back zeros across the board. Latest one was last month and membrane is 2 years old.

Are you using a chloramine minster unit before your RODI in San Jose?

I can help if needed.

Id bring my suction cups, but I have no idea what @Srt4eric has done with them. :p

I might be able to help. Will check either the wife to see if there is a babysitter around for a couple of hours. Will let you know.

I should have an ICP dropping in tomorrow. I dont mind raising flouride and stront if low. Not sure how to add sulfur.

Whats the thinking with those three? Fluoride especially feels like a thread the needle situation but Im not really basing that on anything.

I had a kid and shut down the frag tank. When things were growing, they grew fast and strong. The disease would come in waves over various tenuis then RTN. I attempted cipro, oxalinic acid, and everything else under the sun. I think the results might be in my frag tank journal. I forget...

That last part is especially important. Refugiums and algae, in general, seemed to release dissolved organic compounds that appeared to be a growth inhibitor to corals. Which, if I am recalling correctly, was linked to excess carbon in the system. My suspicion is that in a closed ecosystem...

Here are some of my thoughts when I was going through all that stuff with my frag tank that was predominately sps. I believe, it is possible, that coral are negatively affected by carbon dosing. That depends entirely on your biome that results from the carbon dosing. Things like acetate versus...

Anyone culturing large amounts of phyto regulary around San Jose? Would prefer to buy it before I restart my phyto cultures. I use about a gallon every two weeks.

Thanks, I have met with Los Gatos and San Jose so far. I felt I was missing something because, for instance, Los Gatos said they have like three events a year. It was a steep membership fee and then you still have a per event fee that varied based on tier. Maybe my expectations were wrong that...

I was just being cautious. Sometimes there rules against business related things. In-home senior care, largely non medical currently.

Recently launched a service business and have been working to on driving sales and finding hires. Long shot, but I was curious if anyone is part of other groups/clubs worth checking out that business owners are utilising to tackle things like that.
