TDS readings

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i thought you were much higher TDS AL?

Might be confusing TDS and conductivity? I chose to monitor conductivity cause the guy who was helping me with the water situation had taken water samples from down where rays are caught - his measurements were in Microsiemmens so could relate better IF I was giving him readings in the same measurement.

Only TDS readings I take are water going into and out of my RO. Although I do believe I saw a TDS pen amongst some other stuff I got with a tank deal, maybe it would be easier for me to go measure my systems in TDS rather then hoping for someone with conductivity numbers to share.......

How? The shells? When I was drippign it I hit 100, added some tap and it shot way the hell up. So I quit.

My TDS readings are like 230-260 out of tap. Most systems are just under 300..... I do have 1 system that's 180. NO RO.

Numbers LOWER then what comes out of the tap????

HMMMMM......

;)
 
Yeah I've got sea shells in the sump took some advice from SHARK13 SHARK13 he's been dropping r/o for a long time no with his marbles

I guess I don't understand. I dripped pure RO and in less then a week I was well under 200. Why are you guys getting to a certain point then just stopping? The water you're putting in has litterally nothing in it, so how is it possible that it just "stays" around 200?
 
My tap water is around 100, and my aquarium is around 180, each day it goes up around 20, then after a water change drops backdown to 180
