yeh the inline ones are nice to have as it makes it easier to know when each of the filters needs to be changed.
nope you should be checking the tds after it comes out of the ro/di unit. I have 2 tds meters on mine one after the filters(before the ro membrane)so...
:o:o holy cow! do your fish have sunglasses..lol. thats allot of light don't know if its too much.
how long have you had the ro/di system? if the output water is reading 14 then it sounds like dirty filters or membrane.

I'm not trying to sound mean but at 2 months old I don't think you should add corals yet without knowing what all your parameters are. have you...
I use the 2 part(recipe 1) from bulk reef supply for my mag,alk,cal.
everyone has different cycles, just pick what works for you. I run my attinics for 2 hrs before the whites turn on then the the whites turn off one...
