Yes, TDS could be the cause. Low flow can also contribute. Over feeding could do it. etc, etc. ------------- Jeff Rasmussen |

jfinch once tested the tap water at his work, the Flying J Refinery. He called the water liquid rock. Even with tap water if one grows lot's of algae, preferably macroalgae, tapwater can do okay. It's easy to buy RO water at many grocery stores where they have an RO water dispenser. Smiths may have a Glacier water unit inside or outside the store. That's what I'd do. ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member
