Whats up guys im back...i said saturday now its monday anyways heres what i did.........dont be upset of my actions im only 18 my budget wasn't great im saving up for a RO unit
I made a non leaking water purifier using a poland spring bottle, plastic cup and mayoneise bottle. In the mayo bottle there is small hole i made on the bottle to fit a vinyl tube. I connected about 2ft of vinyl tube to the bottom of the mayo bottle. In the mayo bottle there were 3 layers of water conditioners. the bottom layer is sponge. The middle layer is carbon concealed in a nylon material to prevent carbon getting into the water. On top of the carbon is another layer of sponge. I placed a plastic cup on the open top of the mayo bottle and wrapped it tightly with tape. Then I cut the bottom of the poland spring bottle and wrapped the open bottle with 2 layers of clean rinsed out nylon material then proceeded to tape the bottle to the cup.
Then.... i added salt mix.............
I checked the SG then proceeded to clean live rock....
