I have a small unit, too, a RO Buddie from that same company. They offered to send me new cartridges, so hopefully that will work.

How often are you running yours, and for how long?

Hey folks, I don't post much here, but I've run across a problem that might be particular to our area. I bought my first RODI system in early February, and while slow, it was working ok at first. I only use it every other week, for just 6 gallons (I have a small tank.) Now, water production has...

They got back to me, but didn't have what I need. Snails, snails, my kingdom for some snails.:snail::sigh:

Yeah, that's the number I called. I left a message, but that was yesterday. Like I said, I was hoping to go today after I leave the office. Thanks for the help, though.

Anyone know a better way to contact these folks? I haven't been there since they moved, and I want to pick up some snails today. I've called and emailed, but have yet to hear anything back. Anyone have a better idea? Are they now appointment only or not? Thanks in advance...

The last time I checked (Friday) the nitrite and ammonia was at 0, and I THINK the nitrate was at 20 parts per liter. I don't have a phospate or calcium test kit yet.

I cleaned out my skimmer (a Bak Pak) last weekend, and for the first time started to get a lot of micro bubbles. I took one of my girlfriend's stockings, cut off the toe, and put it on the outtake pipe with a rubberband. That stopped the bubbles, but it was slowly swelling up over the last...

I'm brand new here, and already I'm asking annoying questions... I have a 55 gallon FOWLR that has been up for about a year and a half now (with a short, cross town move in the middle.) I have a handfull of fish, and a cuc that probably needs a few additions soon. I was getting some dark red...
