    Man did I screw up last night.

    yes it was just a line from my rodi to my tank with just a little valve I can turn it on or off. Funny you say that I am actually looking at ato unit online as we speak. Usally the alarm goes off but I can say there is a reason I got those alarms as this has happened before only with capret. So...

    Since i started using RO all has gone wrong

    Also take some ro water to a water store not an lfs but a water filtration (home depot or lowes will do it sometimes) and have you water tested for chlorimines.

    I need some input and advice..Please

    Yep that sounds like some pretty decent water movement at the surface. I just figured I would throw it out there just in case. Hmmmm dont know where you nitrates are comming from but wet skimming will remove nitrates. So I think your idea might be worth a shot to see what happens.

    to add closed loop or not

    I would drill it. If your worried about breaking it take it to a glass shop and have them do it. Drilling a tank is easy it just take patience. Closed loops are very nice to have so you dont need a million power heads
