How big is it

Thanks Bro!

Carbon block is in block form and GAC is in powder form. Both are in catridge. Was told GAC is used more for drinking.

Right. But would recon you use carbon block than GAC.

Not too sure. Maybe you wanna try opening it.

Let post this at the bulk order section. And I don't mind coordinating it Will start after we sort of some QnR first

Hi guys, I've just got a message from the CB supplier that we need to flush it with water first before using Hi blenny its the block type.

How low tech? Care to share? Also wanna save some cost on running it

Maybe we should rinse the Carbon Block first before running it. Guys anyone wanna try and share if its better

Yup will keep you guys updated After water starts flowing thru did you guys notice that the resin separated. The black beads sinks to the bottom and the goldish beads rested on top of it. I threw away the 1st 20Litre as it has a tint of colour and slight odour. Might be from the carbon block. The next 20 litre was colourless and odourless with 000 reading Will be doing some water change when I collected 80 litre.

No sweat man but bro playststion2 tot tat my marine tank has made my floor some how sticky but its from the drink

$18

Without you sharing it with us this wouldn't have happen. Well its not really difficult to fill the resin, all you need is another pair of hands to help, it pretty easy. We did change some parts like the female bulk head to a reducer pipe so we could drill more holes. And just for the record we spend less than $90 for the DIY. If given more time I think we might even go below $80. BTW Bruce did you reverse the flow direction of the resin housing? For those who is looking into doing this DI unit remember to do that as the flow has to be different direction.

One last one before I sleep

Another group shot with me in it

For the time being I intend to collect the water in the 20L corallife salt bucket so can calculate how many litre before the resin exhaust. Maybe you can do that too. It will be good to invest in a TDS meter as water ppm differ from place so exhaust rate will be different. Paiseh cannot delete liao
