SRC Member AREA51 Posted July 15, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted July 15, 2005 sorry if i asked too much questions. due to the high evaporation rate, i have been topping up the tank with FW everyday during the cycling period. is this wrong? will it affect the process? does this mean that the process will "restart" again and again because there's new water coming in? starting to worry me.

I used to have high evaporation, after i get my chiller, only topup every 3-4 days yup, im using fans, have to top up everyday but im willing to commit the time topping up manually but only thing is scared the elements might decrease.

SRC Member framerunner Posted July 15, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted July 15, 2005 the problem i think with FW introduction is phosphate (spelling?), this will result in diatom propagation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member XPeriment 626 Posted July 15, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted July 15, 2005 the problem i think with FW introduction is phosphate (spelling?), this will result in diatom propagation. yeah the problem is nitrates and phosphates in the tap water. but there is no impact on your cycling (which is mostly about ammonia and nitrites) so don't worry. having said that, unless you own RODI, gotta live with tap water loh, like me Quote Be teachable always, nobody has a monopoly on wisdom. But learn to distinguish "fact" from "opinion". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
