all out of wack everything is high

im working on getting a RO\DI .
just trying to fing one that dont cost a arm and leg.

 

i am too. everyone talks about the great deals for 130 and so. im sure it is well worth the cost but that is really freakin expensive IMO

 

oh ye i did put (Prime) in it when i mix water and RED SEA SALT together.

 

Agreed,sounds normal at one week,what are you cycling the tank with??

 

micro bacter7

 

im going to make my own rock thats why there isnt that much in the tank have everything but the rock salt even walmart dont have any in this little town.

 

never heard of it,but the levels sounds normal for start up,i wouldn't even test for a couple weeks now that you know your cycle is under way,but they should level out.

 

I put some pic up to see
