It's often discussed how old lights which have fallen out of spectrum, create light that better suited for algal growth. I wonder if an algae...
Thanks, TBELT. :) Yes. I think you experienced the TDS creep for the reason I mentioned. Your RO/DI never got to run long enough for the...
Claic Yuzolt, I don't know if this is your problem, but give this a read. Good luck.
