RO/DI pages updated; Skimmer update
I worked on my site tonight and updated these two pages, pertaining to RO/DI stuff. It's kind of fun making picture tutorials.
How to Change Filters
Common Questions and Troubleshooting
The mesh mod I did to my skimmer continues to do well. This picture shows my Euroreef's collection cup holding one gallon of skimmate after 4 days of skimming.
Ready to go again. ;)
My tank continues to grow this brown slime on the glass, which normally is green for most people. I'm tired of it, so I decided to replace the DI on my RO unit in case that will help. The TDS was 3, but maybe 0 will make all the difference.

In other news...
I treated my tank with Red Slime Control, turned off the carbon reactor, cleaned the skimmer completely, turned off the refugium lighting, and will restart the skimmer in the next 24 hours. The water is a tad murky since it hasn't been skimmed in two days, but the cyano is yet again a thing of history.
I modified the second impellar to my Euro-Reef 12-2 to use mesh material, and am really looking forward to seeing how the skimmer does.
