    What part of RO takes our Nitrate?

    My RO/DI water seems to have about 10-20ppm nitrate levles. What part of my unit do I need to replace? Is it the membrane, carbon or DI that removes the nitrate? Or should I just replace them all? Thanks.

    Melafix, the good and bad

    So, I was hesitant in using a 'reef safe' medication in my tank, but the thought of catching my Tang was too crazy. He had what looked like fin rot and some rubbed places on his sides. So, I decided to try Melafix. I used it as directed for 7 days with my skimmer off. The Good - It actually...
