AquaticLife Classic 100 GPD, 4-Stage RO/DI Carbon Plus Unit

  • FILTERED REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER – AquaticLife Classic 4-stage reverse osmosis deionization system provides up to 100 GPD of filtered reverse osmosis water, removing harmful substances from tap water.
  • EFFECTIVE SEDIMENT REMOVAL – The 5-micron sediment filter captures and reduces unwanted particulate material such as sand, silt, and rust from water which affect the taste and appearance of your water.
  • REDUCES CHLORAMINES AND CHLORINE – The second stage of your reverse osmosis water filter is a Carbon Plus Filter. The 0.5-micron activated carbon filter reduces both chloramines and chlorine and conditions the water prior to the RO membrane filter.
  • REDUCES TDS FROM WATER – The RO membrane filter reduces impurities Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) from the water down to 1 out of 10,000 of a micron, reducing arsenic, lead, cysts, copper, and more.
  • COLOR CHANGING DI RESIN – The mixed bed deionization resin cartridge reduces Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) to zero in the final stage of an RODI unit. It uses Cations and Anions to remove TDS from water.

LIGHT

LOW: Place coral at the bottom of the tank. Depending on the type, coral may need to be placed off sand and therefore mounted on a ceramic disc of piece of rock.

MEDIUM: Place coral at mid-range of the tank. Best placed/glued on top of a rock scape at mid-range height. 

HIGH: Place coral from mid range to just below water level. SPS coral are shallow growing so they require and are able to tolerate intense light.

FLOW

LOW: Most soft coral do well with a small, gentle pulse. There are certain corals that can even be placed in areas of indirect flow, meaning places aside a rock structure or set into a entrance to a cave style space.

MEDIUM: Many LPS types of coral prefer medium pulse current. Most Euphyllia or corals that have more tissue structure connected to their skeleton, don’t like to be in a high flow area like the direct flow of the wave pump.

HIGH: Similar to high light, SPS enjoy being in some heavy current. Most LPS and SPS that branch encrust or plate prefer high flow that simulates the top water waves.

SKILL

ENTRY: While some may say beginner level, "Entry" is a good term to be used when starting out in the world of corals and marine life. Prior to adding livestock, you want to ensure that your reef has the proper parameters including zero levels of ammonia and nitrite. Seeing traces of nitrate in your waters is a good sign - just keep them at a lower level of 2ppm to 10ppm. Maintaining correct temperature and salinity are a huge factor to stable parameters. Starting to monitor your PH, alkalinity, calcium and magnesium is a great habit to get into to keep a successful reef.

While some soft coral don’t require too much light, having a proper reef light that puts out the proper pars is very important. You'll also want to have a good amount of flow and protected rock areas, as placing corals in their happy spot is ideal for success.
