A few weeks ago I was lazy to make RODI water when doing a water change after coming back from vacation and now Im starting to notice some issues.
Well the reason why I was lazy to make RODI water is more or less b/c it takes about 3 hours to make a 5gallon bucket - I have a 125gpd unit - but Im not sure why it just drips when making water - people says its normal but each time Im making it, i feel like its wasting a crap load of water since the faucet is on full blast and the drain line from the RODI unit just drains water with high speed and the water coming out of the RODI slowly drips - it takes about 30-45 minutes of water to make about an inch in a 5G bucket.
:irked:
So one time I mixed some tap after i conditioned it and mixed it to do a WC. at the time no problems, corals everything fine. Now Im noticing green hair algae spreading like wild fire all over my frag rack. I think it started in my overflow box the U tube is brown and yellow - the acrylic between the box and the tank glass is covered with hair algae. I can't get my hand in there to clean it unless i remove it.
Any way I can save my tank or make RODI faster? So far no algae on the rocks or corals yet
