As promise photo to show what I use and do since last night

I got this DI resin last nite after find my tank water TDS read 78

[sherman]

Use a drinking bottle ,2 netting and a small resun pump

[sherman]

Drill a few holes on the base of the drinking bottle for water to exit

[sherman]

Another photo of the nettings use

[sherman]

Wrap the 2 nettings round the bottle base and fill the bottle with the DI resin.

Then connect this bottle of DI resin to a small water pump.

Start the pump and let it run while I retire to bed.

[sherman]

This morning wake up.Measure the TDS and find it drop to 58.

But today evening drop to 48

Remove the bottle and pour out the exhaust DI resin.

[sherman]

Cleanup the bottle and nettings.

Wrap the 2 nettings back to the bottle base

and refill with new resin.

Fix the bottle of new resin to the small water pump

and start the water cleaning again.

Let see what happen tomorrow morning

Hi Bro William,

Thank You for reading the thread.

Hope it is helpful

Just take the TDS reading .It is 0.01 .

Seem that is the best it can go down.

Is 0.01 ppm DI water good enough for salt mix?

Please give your comment

Agree with you bro Sunny.

Today add in a wavemaker before add salt

[sherman]

Take some measurement this morning.

PH: 8.4

SG:1.022

Overflow still working ok.

Add a hydroflo deflector at the return outlet

to spread the flow more evenly

Finally add a market prawn into the main tank

to start the cycling.(13/11/11)

[sherman]

Finally add a market prawn into the main tank

to start the cycling.(13/11/11)

The tank water start to smell the next day.(14/11/11)

I take this as an indication that cycling has start

Today(17/11/11) the smell of the tank water gone.Is it an indication ammonia

has drop to zero or both ammonia and nitrite have drop to zero?

Share you view base on your pass cycling experience

[sunny03]

Yes I add in some life rocks on the same day I add in the market prawn

Totally agree.But I added only a few rocks last week.The rest will be add in slowly during the cycling period.

[sherman]
