I tested the TDS from water in my tank and its about 630. Directly from the RO/DI(typhoon III) I get 6.
I have used base rock I had left over, some crushed coral, and some quickrete sand. Probably around 40 pounds.
Could it be the sand that is causing the high TDS or could it possibly be the glue from the plumbing? I am in the process of doing a water change to see if it will lower the TDS some.
The water was crystal clear until I turned on the pumps after the tank was filled.
I'll let you know how the water change comes out.
