Let's see the screen.
I think that I will wait couple more days, because now, I see little different algae (in some place).
Thank you...
Yes let it grow. It's still mostly diatoms (from the silicates), which is why they are washing off and leaving the screen white. If the hair growth can get going, it will over power the diatoms. It's just a matter of getting the silicates lower... yours is higher than anyone else's I've seen.
Did you waterchange with the rodi? If not, the silicates stayed in the tank from before.
Hello,
Before I starting the Algae Scrubber, I'm waiting more than week with working RO filer. I didn't change all my water in the tank, but during a week water in my tank was changed 2 times. (2 gal per hour = 336 gal per week (1.86 size of tank per week).
Today I got a Silicate test. I made a sample test to make sure that i did everything correctly (sample water induced in test kit)... it shows me 6 mg/L (and it should be like that).
Then, I testing my tank water... It shows me that my silicate is very low, probably 0 mg/L... tomorrow I use a low test method to check a exact result.
Well... what can I do more... I lose hope...
Mike
How did the last week of growth go?
The same as previously... water green... and only powder... ;(Originally Posted by SantaMonica
Can you do a 50% water change with the rodi?
I didn't stop my automatic water exchange... It it working non stop... that mean every week water is changing 2 times in my tank.Originally Posted by SantaMonica
Ok let's find out the new silicates test result
