so today I changed out all my filters (including the DI). I ran a 3min flush and 1min system flush (ran as normal but had the line still in the drain) I turned the TDS meter on right away. It started with 9ppm in and 0ppm out. By the time all my flushes were done I was doing 1ppm in and...
Totally understand @kschweer my week was crazy at work and very stressful. That one thing I love about this hobby, working on my tanks allow me to take my mind off junk from work lol. enjoy your weekend and take it easy man.
today I need to change my RO/DI filters, make water for water changes on all my tanks, change my carbon in the DT, and do filter maintenance on my cichlid tank. Not too much work but takes time. I think I need to look into a way of making water ahead of time now that I have Fridays off.

but lesson learn and always read up on a fish before you buy lol I normally do. Even when I'm in the LFS and see a fish I have not read up on I pull out my phone and search but for some reason I didn't with this one
Well hopefulyl my other fish can hold their own. The dottyback is currently the smallest fish in that tank. Out of the fish in there I can see maybe three of them getting bossed around by him (my two cards and 1 clown fish) but my others seem to hold their own pretty well with the tomato clown
