DoS is a peristaltic pump so the line is always pinched. Will not create a siphon. 👀Me watching this video while my pH hits 8.4+ dosing kalkwasser at night. 😂 I love your passion for the hobby! Thanks!
DI water at pH of 9 means something is contaminating it. Pure water has zero buffering capacity so it’s very easy to change it’s pH with very little contamination.
Pick a salt and stick with it! Shake your bucket/Salt container before every mix! Make sure the parameters and temp match your tanks and do a 5%, percent water change every week. Doing this will give a stable, successful reef environment!
Marc you should try talking with Ryan Cunningham from Chumminghams Reef he’s been on of the big high ph proponents for awhile. Did a few interviews with reefdudes.
@@ReefingwithO not out just moving. He’s moving from Chicago to somewhere in cali for work so he sold off a bunch of inventory but I remember him saying somewhere he banked a lot with a friend to start back up after the move. So not really out just in between tanks while moving.
Our DI water isn’t just water, it has other things that are harder to remove (lookup ultra pure water). Water also naturally will split apart and recombine to form OH- and H3O+ ions. And if your RODI water is exposed to the atmosphere, CO2 will dissolve into it, forming carbonic acid and freeing H+, lowering pH.
@matc you shows are great. BUT when have a guest, please be careful you Don't talk over them and give them enough air time to fully express their opinions. Please rewatch this stream with Rich, you will notice that he had a lot that he couldn't communicate
@marc BTW, I have been reefing now for 14 years now. Following you and you content on this amazing Channel is what got me to where I am now. Thanks Man.
Farley would be a great addition to your stream as well what do you think Marc I do consider him a guru not that bulk reef supply guy that says he is a guru not one bit anyhow sidetracked sorry Farley yes good addition to guest speak on your stream ✌️

Thanks
This is the reason I have a "SCIENCE" decal on the side of my tank over the overflow box/drain area.
Hi Marc, Good Girl Jack, hugs. Tom and I love the Nero 7 pumps you recommended we get from you. Rich has a beautiful Naso!
REEF PEEPER! 😂😂 And definitely Dewalt 😂 Loved this episode. And I'm with you Marc, I've had my KALKW mix for a year & I've never used it.
Great conversation, thank you for doing this every week
This is an awesome sat live!! Entertaining and educational, this is perfection.
Glad you liked it!
@@melevsreef 👏👏good one. i need to chat with both of you guys on different subjects

always been between 8.1 to 8.3 and never worried about it at all !! It goes dn at least on probes during low pressure storm rain weather too !!
Pick a salt and stick with it! Shake your bucket/Salt container before every mix! Make sure the parameters and temp match your tanks and do a 5%, percent water change every week. Doing this will give a stable, successful reef environment!
guys are doing 5 per a day on automatic water changes. thats way to do it.
I would like to see the test kits we use...used at a reef in the ocean. Ph, phosphates, etc...
would dripping muriatic also work in iv bag ?
rich all points spot on !
Does Rich use a filter for the air pump that brings in outside air?
He didn’t say. I’ll ask him though.
So air through your skimmer does oxygenate your system!?
Marc you should try talking with Ryan Cunningham from Chumminghams Reef he’s been on of the big high ph proponents for awhile. Did a few interviews with reefdudes.
I think he’s out the hobby now - at least for the time being

@@brenninsreef great to hear! Can’t wait for him to be back!
I think we'll be better off if we focused on reducing the pH drop at night ather than increasing the pH high during peak.
pH of DI water is silly. How do you measure hydrogen ions in water that has been de-ionized?
Our DI water isn’t just water, it has other things that are harder to remove (lookup ultra pure water). Water also naturally will split apart and recombine to form OH- and H3O+ ions. And if your RODI water is exposed to the atmosphere, CO2 will dissolve into it, forming carbonic acid and freeing H+, lowering pH.
Task determines Tool
Newbie here... is pH different than Phosphate?
Yes two different things
If you want to see high pH check out Chummingham’s reef
or crank the ac and open doors !
You should ask Fritz to send you some red boxes instead of blue next time - maybe you can stop having to buffer your new saltwater.

Agreed, usually I’m better about that. Oops!

I love rich but dont let him know that
🤣🤣🤣

BEEFFFFFFFFFF
🥩
one day of kalk and make fresh daily is only way.
Hard-pass, see u next week!
