    if you have a reef …
    if you have a reef tank guys… dont forget to test phosphate levels in your aquarium… if you use ro water you should have near enuff 0 phosphates but ro membrane’s do degrade in time. and if the ro unit is left for a long period of time bacteria can attract the membrane and render it useless.
    2 ways to avoid this 1 flush the ro unit aleast 20mins every week.. or! store the ro membrane in the fridge
