    Innovative Marine 30 AIO Long

    I have not used one up yet and I don’t use your model. But based on present rate I would guess I can make around 1500 gallons but is just a guess as I have not had to change it yet

    The down fall is you don’t know what that 20 is composed of. For example if you have copper pipes. It could be copper. And that’s sure death for many marine animals

    One more thing. Was just studying your pictures. Looks like your RO line is simply running into your water container. Is your float mounted. Or dare I say... floating :)

    The distance is definitely not an issue as far as high pressure. That’s unlikely. But need to know the following. . 1. Are you using a pressure pump on your RODI 2. Do you know your house water pressure I am prety sure if you had enough pressure to force the float open. Your RO system would...

    Water Mixing Station

    That’s real sweet. But give me the 411. Looks like that big return pump is pushing to the barrels. Do those pipes have down spouts inside the barrel? Sorry I’m new and trying to work out my water station so I’d love me a little education:)

    First Time Cycling HELP!

    Awesome. That added beneficial bacteria really helps. Best of luck. Please keep in mind that when a tank is first cycled. It is on the edge of a crash. As time goes on the bacteria population grows and grows. So be patient and add fish slowly. And corals even slower. In time the bacteria load...
