Hi,
I got my first RO unit today. I want to use dead rock for my aquascaping and was told in the show that the dead rock needs to be purged in RO water for 6-7 weeks before i even start to seed it and cycle the tank. I havent got the DI filter yet but will add this once i have finished purging the rocks.
I notice that my Sediment Filter is rated at anything above 5 microns but after watching Mr. Saltwater Guy he says dont use anything greater than 1 micron. Does anyone on here have views about this? Have i just wasted a pile of cash?
Also, my filter doesn't have a pressure gauge so i have no idea what rate the water is going into the filter. Is this a big problem?
Thanks!
