Mine I clean once or twice per week. Before using RODI (only DI), was cleaning like mad. Using RO/DI. But don’t get very good TDS. About 5. I took out my chaeto. Died 2x despite buying the kessil light. It made my nitrate worse by trapping the debris. Going to replace with media. Supposed my tank is still new....

SRC Member Jeebusai Posted June 27, 2018 SRC Member Share Posted June 27, 2018 How did it trap debris? Isnt the water was filtered through socks through the sump? One side is cup. Added wool to the cup. Doesn’t trap debris as well but I don’t have the hassle of washing the sock. Intend to convert both to cup when shipment is in lolSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member MarCal Posted June 28, 2018 Author SRC Member Share Posted June 28, 2018 Even tds if 5 shouldn’t be too bad. Chaeto cannot be too tight in sump as they need room to grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
