is 20-30 ppm good enough?
-
the TDS is designed such that i can only connect the "IN" to the 2nd filter which the water had already passed/filtered by the 1st and 2nd filter.
-
the supplied TDS do not have a calibration option.. I am not given the pen TDS but a rect box TDS device which both ends connect to the DI tubes.
-
i tried many times, trhe best i got is 16 PPM. IS this good enough as compared to distilled water?
-
Hi,
I just brought a new Crystal Pro 3 stages DI. However the TDS readings for "IN" is 31PPM and "OUT" is 29PPM... shouldn't i be getting around 0 for a new set? Is 29 PPM good compared to distilled water?
-
Yes. got it.

1. Does brandnew crystal pro comes with the original cartridges and resins? - yes. but bear in mind, they will last only about 2- 3 months usage for a nano type of tank water usage.
2. where can i get the cartridges and resins you mentioned from? any name, brand etc.?
I have posted some pics on my old thread on the refillable cartridge and resins.

As to how to get them.. ummm ... my only source is still through Peter Tee but unfortunately he is no longer active in this forum. If you are really keen, you can drop me a PM. I can help link you up with him.
Bro, do you still need to add anti-chlorine solution etc. and left the water for overnight, with the crystal pro?
-
increase will be just about $40 bro. not much comparing to the livesotck $ you are going to spend in future... haha..... ** advance warning...
$40!? I told my wife only $10....dont know how to hide from her...... this is like running an air-con unit 24X7 in a small room....

any idea nitrate = High range : 25, Low range : 2.5 what does this mean?
-
what testers are you using. They come with instructions?
I'm using REDSEA testkit. On the color, it just shows "start", "end" ... no instructions.
-
and also, for Alk and Mg, the color charts show "start" and "end" . What do these mean? How do i get a value from the chart?

hi bro,
this is my 3rd day cycling the tank with a market prawn
ammonia = 1.0
nitrite = 0.2
nitrate = High range : 25, Low range : 2.5 ** i dont know how this should be read...
From the reading Nitrate is very high, at this point do i need to do a water change?
Thanks.
-
yes i got manual with the recommended temp/sanilty etc. ...but as Jacky suggested just ignore the temperature... or else how to i bring down the water (water change) temperature to 24 deg c? Unless i have another chiller....
-
My ammonia reading shot up yesterday after introducing raw prawn 2 days ago. I got some reading on nitrite . ... nitrate remains 0. ... thank guys...
-
brand new at C328 cost about $195.
but dun get brand new. just a second hand and get cartridges and resins like what I have mentioned.
cheaper and can last you 1 yr + instead of 3 months.

Tks.

i want to get this di system... is this system good? can you pm me how much you pay for this?
-
i decide to get a mini fan than a pc fan and hide inside the cabinet.... very pressure now .... $$$... spent a lot liao... and don't how much increase in the electric bill this month.... expensive hobby...
-
No.. i was reading the hydrometer instructions... just confused how to maintain the water to 24 deg c ... since i can ignore the temp .. i am clear now. tks.
-
i am kinda confused mixing salt water. Am i right to say as long as the SG read from the hydrometer is between 1.022 to 1.028 is OK? that is to say regardless of the water temperature ?
-
kk,
hmmm... your chiller.... try not to place inside the cabinet.
I think the RSM cabinet does not have holes at the side or front... even if they have, the heat cannot be dissipated well.
You can place a PC or AC fan there but after a few weeks, the fan becomes weak and does not serve its purpose.
unless if you open up the door and blow a standing mini fan at it.
Note: The chiller is at its hottest when it has run for sometime and just about the cut off. Check the air around then... it can be rather hot.
Noted... i am monitoring these few days and it seems the air around is not that hot. Now, I'm leaving the cabinet door open in the day where no one is at home and at night where i go to sleep.

hi jacky,
i also see that you're using Vortech MP10, one day it's ok, slient, even i tune to the max. day 2, it starts to make some noticable noise if i tune to the max... is this normal?
Tks.
-
the cabinet rear has a big opening. My chillers come with 6 months warranty. I just use for 3 days and i found a problem - e.g. sometimes , for some reasons, it dont work if the difference beteen water temperature and set temperature differ by a decimal point. Eg. Set temp is 28 deg and water temp is 28.5 temp... i have to change the set temp to 27 deg maybe.. then it begins to kick off. at this time, i change the set temp to 28deg then ok....
-
PC fans are good too, but you will need some modifications and wiring into a AC/DC Adaptor. I have used Nidec before, quite reliable.
i am not mounting the fan to the cabinet rear but maybe putting on the top or side of the chiller... do you think this would help to disperse the heat ?
-
ya....quite comfortable with the price, the starter kit, the size... and saw many people had success with this tank in the other forum... it was fairly noisy except when the chiller kicks in... only have budget to get hailac

I found out the reasons. I came to notice a small note on the equipment box "No black connection" ... and finally i discovered there are missing rubber stoppers which hold the cartriage tight in the canister. I inserted cut my filter sponge and fit into the canister to hold the cartriage tight and finally i got 0 ppm. Apparently, the LSF which sold me the DI wasn't honest enough to tell me the missing rubber stoppers. Make sure you check yours carefully when you got it.
