Great write up! Probably the best description of the development process I've seen.
How do you keep critters from being sucked into the closed loop? Best, Kev |

Thank you guys for the kind comments. Honestly the tank has looked and done better at times in the past. Right now i am struggling with it . Not sure what is going on but it seems to be an issue with make up water. Just picked up an ammonia test kit to confirm the makeup water does or doesn't have any. My theory is that chloramine is breaking down to ammonia as my RO components age and miss some of it. Even though my TDS measures between 0 and 5 TDS I could still be getting bleed through. If that is the case, I should be able to measure ammonia in my fresh makeup water. Details at 5....
