Hello and welcome! Good to have you. When the time comes to set up the salt tank we are here to help, guide and encourage. We do like pics here so...
I know we all want to cut expenses, especially in this hobby, but if you can afford it get at least a 3 stage RO/DI unit. You got the right company...
Hi, if you are getting 2 going out you need to replace your filters. Not the DI or membrane just the first stage filters. With a RO/DI you should be...

Hey Nikon, as far as the protein on top of the water, that is because there isn't any circulation there (a dead spot) you need to aim one of your...
Perhaps a Sea Hare (slug). Good for eating unwanted hair algae but once algae is gone it will die and polute the tank. Keep a close eye on it and if...
