Those darn pesky mushrooms... But seriously I have some tequila sunrise mushrooms I wish I never put in my tank.

I should cut down my Ca/Mg testing as well like you. But then I'd be in the same situation as you.

I don't think anyone wants to debate with you. Haha

I also have not cleaned my mixing container for years. I use primarily reef crystals.

They are black. It's what I run as well. https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/55-watt-pro-max-high-output-uv-sterilizer-lifegard-aquatics.html

Very nice. Why doesnt my confetti look like this. My colony is very strange now because of how high the flow is. It looks like one big plating coral.

Yeah it is a bit shady for sure. @Woeday do what is right at the very least refund 20 dollars.

I got a piece of this from the same person. One day just popped into my office and said he had something for me. He's been my contractor for multiple projects.

How about a large water reservoir you treat with vitamin c, then use a pressurized pump to pump water from that reservoir to your RO/DI. This is probably going to far as well.

I keep full circulation going.

This is basically what I do. Except I seem to have to feed more than my fish actually need to keep my nutrients up. Caveat, I don't actually test my nutrients but I can tell based on how my coral look.

Nevermind, you already answered this.

Even if DI is exhausted TDS seems very high after the RO to me.

This is the one I got a while back. You can always change out a filter or 2 for chloramines. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HOJ55RC?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_4

Also this does not help the potential issue of the chloramines shortening the like of the ro membrane. Which is the reason for why this topic got brought up.

is it at 100 percent? Because if it isn't turn in up higher and lift the light off the water. You will get more even spread.

I understand that but in real world experience how long is everyone's membrane lasting? I know I just changed mine after 3.5 years for the first time. Granted I have very soft water.

Just curious, what is the concern if after the DI the Chloramines are gone? Is it that it reduces the filter life of the RO membrane?

Still why have 2 systems? Why not just one system? One membrane going to your drinking water. The other going to your RO/DI reservoir.
