RO BUDDIE COLOR CHANGING MIXED BED RESIN DI FILTER CARTRIDGE: Replace filter when resin changes color completely to amber. When all resin has changed color, it is time to replace the DI filter. Each DI Cartridge includes two clips that allow the cartridge to attach to the front of the membrane housing.

  • COLOR-CHANGING DEIONIZATION RESIN – AquaticLife Mixed-Bed Deionization Filter Cartridge contains positive Cations and negative Anions, each in a different color. DI Resin physically changes colors from Blue to Tan when the media is exhausted.
  • REDUCES TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS TO ZERO – The deionization resin is necessary to reduce Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) to zero in the final stage of an RO/DI system. It uses ion exchange to remove TDS from water.
  • INLINE CARTRIDGE DESIGN – The inline DI filter cartridge design is easy to plumb into many different types of filtration needs. Simply connect to the 1/4" Press Fittings on each end of the cartridge.
  • COMPATIBLE WITH MOST RO/DI UNITS – This RO Buddie replacement filter cartridge is compatible with all AquaticLife RO units and only requires standard ¼” tubing to connect. This deionization water filter can be used with most other reverse osmosis water filter systems and RO/DI units.

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.
