Regenerating De Ionization resin for aquarium use
That was awesome dude! TY
What solution did you use for calibration and where can I buy it? Thanks.
Nice job. Thank you.
Why not just two seperate DI filters instead of mixed bed? Saves you one step.
Take care
Hi, I couldn’t see where you switch the wire ? Thks for yr tuto, I’ll let y know how it worked for me xxx.
How big of a batch can you do at a time? Im using di resin for window cleaning and i need like a cubic ft done each time.. it seems like i would be here for days doing it this way..
Did all this a few times for moderate 5gallon tanks DI but encountering a probleme regenerated resin seems very less effective about only 30% of when it was brand new. Should i let it soak in Sodium Hhdroxide , Muratic Acid longer , or rinse out even more ?
Okay how do you buy it is there a website?
How long do you leave the Anion resin in the Sodium Hydroxide, looks like you separate it then wash and store? thanks.
Videos still contributing to the hobby 👍🏽
I don’t know why I was focused on the kid in the back he or she went in on that box
Hello colleague, excellent video, could you detail the percentage concentration of sodium hydroxide and muriatic acid? I do not speak english I use the translator. I think the muriatic acid has to be 10%, can it be? And how much hydroxide does it have to be to achieve flotation and regeneration? thank you greetings from Argentina
If I were to dose Kalk to sustain a desired peak day PH, and supplemented Alk if needed to a desired level say 9DKh. After most of the dissolved C02 was removed would I be able to maintain Alk levels by holding PH levels with automated dosing/monitoring?
Does this process restore the color of the color changing resin?
You didn't let anyone down. Enjoy your time away from the hobby. You'll be back! It's in your blood.
👀
Sad but true brother
What are the diy recipes?
Hi, where can I find the DIY formula? I have access to a well-equipped lab, so I shouldn't have a problem mixing it up. I like ABC reagents, unfortunately it cannot be sent to the Czech Republic
did you still have your reeftank?
Still do, looking to take it down because i want a 30 g AIO
Are you poor because of the reef tank? You have some pretty high end equipment which Isn’t consider budget. Maybe can change name to baller reef now? Restarting as an adult it was mainly freebies and facebook on a 36 Gal and now a year later have a lot of nice equipment so I get budgets change over time
The narrative isnt that im poor… lol its has mainly revolved saving money like one is poor through DIY projects and free knowledge. No pay walls over here.
@@poor_mansreef8908 that sort of makes sense, a different way of looking at it, I saw the Trident and I’m like I don’t even have that and I’m not exactly poor.
Please, help me out here;; I've watched the video about 20 times, bought all the equipment and chemicals and tried doing my first batch. I don't need it for aquarium, I'm using it to try and keep my black car clean. So everything worked just as shown UNTIL it came time to rinse the anion resin. I didn't have any DI water saved so I used distilled water. After about every third rinse, I'd check the output water to get my TDS reading. It seriously took me about 3 hours to rinse just a small batch. I used 9 gallons of distilled water to finally get my TDS down to about 7ppm. I never did get my cation resin completely rinsed. I think I got it down to low 20's. So...... did I do something wrong? I'll trying using your rinsing method but I still figure it will take a lot of water to rinse it. Any suggestions? My resin doesn't last very long as my water is about 375ppm. I want this to work! Oh, also, how critical is the ration of sodium hydroxide? Does it both separate the resin and regenerate the anion resin? If not, could I reduce the S.H. to make it easier to rinse it clean? Is there any purpose to save the rinse water as you're rinsing the S.H. or acid? Thanks for your help.
Your best bet is to message me on instagram, i have the same name on there as well. I can give you detailed help over there, struggling sucks!
I hadn't used Instagram before but I installed it and I BELIEVE that I sent a message there. If you don't see it, let me know and I'll explore a little more.
Why did my blue resin sink and my tan resin float ?
In common practice that shouldn’t be possible as 1 resin is heavier than the other. An incorrect ratio water to sodium hydroxide would make both reasons sink or float and not the reverse.
@poor_mansreef8908 the anion floats... The cation sinks and gets treated with the acid solution correct?
@@Grinchfeast cation gets rinsed and then regenerated with acid. The anion just needs to be rinsed after the sodium hydroxide bath.
After regenerate can you use regular tap water to rinse of the first initial rinse of acid or will that mess it up
You can, it will use up some life of course though. Distilled water from the grocery store would work too.
@@poor_mansreef8908 ok thanks. I probably need to find a better to rinse off that stuff in the initial rinse because I do about 2.5 gallons worth of resin at a time and it seems like I’m wasting a lot of water rinsing off the stuff. Maybe I’m rinsing too fast
@@Skdjiejxuje it rinses pretty fast in an aquarium DI resin canister. That requires pumping water through the canister.
Easy. Just buy a ton of equipment...
A bunch of cheap plastics 👍🏼
what is the difference of putting the resistor and only the wire
Im not entirely sure, in my experience it actually seems to work better without it.
Can you regenerate mixed bed or does it have to be separate cation and anion
Mixed bed is cation and anion, if you watched the video you’ll see that i started off with mixed bed resin and separated them. They can not be regenerated together.
What's your favorite fish store in Vegas?
I prefer artistic oceans for a few reasons. its close to my house for 1 and ive become good friends with the owner and the staff. Ive yet to do a walk through video of theirs. I might this weekend maybe.
@@poor_mansreef8908 oh ya. Scott and his team is awesome. Was talking to him earlier today.
Nice to see another Vegas channel
I have half a cubic foot of mixed bed resin is it possible to regenerate this much? If so any recommendations on stuff I need
Yeah its the same stuff you use in mobile detailing. You could just following along my video exactly 👍🏼
Easier to spend $30 for replacement cartridges
Its about the dollar amount saved and the chemistry lesson.
I was just about to order another six month supply of reagents. Definitely buying from ABC
This is very nice! Why no comments? Can I order the 3D parts from somewhere?
Did you already order it? You can have @FishOfHex print one out for you.
Thanks for the video, any ideas about the way will be used on Trident ? will you add an extension tubing? and any information about the expire date, Neptune systems mentioned that there reagents kit will last for just a year.
I will say that the extension tube is a bad idea as it can cause overflows and the reagent has a very long shelf life. Much longer than a year!
@@poor_mansreef8908 Thanks a lot, i will go with same bottles or change the Trident shell to 3d painted box that will give more space for the tubing l.
As a chemist, I found your explanation is excellent! Keep up the great work and looking forward to more videos
Appreciate it!
What Ph monitor would you buy with the ones available today?
Pinpoint is easy and cheap
You can go to 8.5 ph and just dose Total evaporation at night and you will have no problem. And you want full Saturation it 1 /4 cup per gallon and measure when liquid is clear. Ph should be at 12.5 in kalk container. That s full Saturation.
What is the part number
YS10000635
I really enjoyed the science part of this video!!
any recommendations on why my 832 won't communicate with base unit
You’d have to be more specific on that, that could mean a few different things.
How long does this last if your testing on regular settings?
2.5 years
Thanks for the helpful information!
Ive been meaning to do part 3 to this series but life has unfortunately taken over…
How about the calibration fluid is there a diy for that?
In the DIY kit it does not come with calibration fluid, we at ABC prefer to use your tank water as calibration fluid. We have a really good idea of where are tank water parameters are everyday so its pretty easy to get the unit calibrated.
howdo these guys get so much business locally with stock looking like that?
Ive actually always wondered that, ive heard some things just like you have but i cannot confirm nor deny.
Dead fish?!!!!!! Yikes. Sonny gotta do better
Its part of the game but they were floating everywhere bro. Didn’t even take the time to remove them.
@@poor_mansreef8908 damn that’s no good….
we had ph monitors and dosers back in the day. kalk did just fine
How many times can you regenerate resin before it no longer works?
Im still figuring this out myself, im to the point of using resin thats lost almost all its color changing dye for good and its still going strong.
Good sheet bro, I never thought about putting it in water and pouring in. This still looks like a moderate pain in the ass but I’m almost sold. If I had a bigger tank I’d be much more inclined!
My main reason is it allows me to be lazy with making water. No need to flush the system as burning up a small amount of reason with high tds water doesn’t even cross my radar and i haven’t bought resin in a year, its best to save up a couple pounds and just run it all through the process once a year.
It’s definitely worth it if you’re using a ton! I’ll start saving mine in case.
did you use food-grade or lab-grade Sodium Hydroxide? I feel like whatever contaminate in nonfood gade would just bind to either the cat-ion or anion resin when it's recharged or flushed away...Crystal Lye from Home Depot is $6 while food-grade lye from amazon is $14. Both advertise as 100% Sodium hydroid, now I wouldn't use Crystal Lye to make pretzels since whatever contamination will still be in the pretzel. I'm trying to recharge my zero water filter, there seems to be no anion resin, I only see 1 resin color the amber one.
Some companies sell non color changing resin. If its 100% depleted then yes even with anion you would only see 1 color. It does not matter which grade you use, i use whatever i can get my hands on. You will notice the first flush of the regenerated resin has high tds and then it knocks off to 0 in a few minutes. No issues at all.
How do you fit abc bottles in the trident or next to it are the tubes long enough?
These bottles are designed to just be poured into your bottles that fit inside the trident.
@@poor_mansreef8908 what if we’ve already thrown those bottles away? Do you have so extras?
