Hello, I watch your channel from Turkey and you have very nice posts, you explain it very well and at a level that everyone can understand. There are already many people in Turkey who follow you and advance in the hobby, thank you.

My first foray into RO/DI was when I departed freshwater a few years ago to try keeping a marine reef, which was a learning curve to say the least. Despite having a formal education in Biology, that was when I started to really learn water chemistry. Before that, I would just dump in my well water, and not really realize when things were drifting to dangerous parameters; which left my inexperienced self wondering what I had done wrong when plants wouldn't thrive or I'd get odd die off in live stock.
Now, quite a few years later and I'm back to keeping a planted tank. Though I don't use the DI resin for Freshwater, using RO with 2 carbon stages has been invaluable in maintaining softer water conditions and more stable parameters overall. It really is an invaluable tool, especially for more sensitive species like Caridina.

I have always found it interesting where different areas have different water conditions. I live in the Appalachian mountains and my water out of tap from a well is 30-40 TDS and little to no hardness. Very lucky as far as not having to use a filter on my water but not good for health as far as drinking water. We add minerals to our water. Great video 👍

[richardlangley]

Thanks. Such an informative video. I bought a house with a 5 stage RO system and had no idea how it worked. Now I have a very good idea on what needs to be done.

Topik yg sangat bagus, saya baru saja membuat filter RO saya sendiri. Thank Tommy...

[warpo]

perfect timing! Just bought an RO plant as my tap water is very heavy in silicate.

[tiagorocha]

This is the video i was waiting for. Thanks!

[arachnophilegrrl]

I'm not "there" yet, but I aspire. I'm growing plants that handle hard water right now. Some day, I'll have an RO system.

Thank you for doing this though! I've never seen anyone actually explain how the system works! This means a lot.

[habibullaharsari]

This information was so useful, thank you ❤

[Aquagold.goldysingh]

thank you so much legend. i recently get ro system. always fear to use . now i know which thing i need for correct tds.

[davidmorrill]

Thank you very much. The info is much appreciated

[Patrickjk]

Great video as always!

I used to do water changes with RO water and never remineralized. Even though good amount of CO2, ferts and light was present, the stem plants grew very weak and stunted.

Only recently i got to know about importance of GH and KH, and my stem plants are growing lush and beautiful!

[stevet]

All very helpful, I think you need to mention about pumps to get the pressure up if needed. Great work 👍

[rensurise]

I use RO for my 60 cm low light aquascape tank without co2, it's been almost a year and its still running very well... Easy maintenance, less algae infection...

[marypaigeflynn]

Thank you so much for this!! This is a subject that I hear about all the time but I know nothing about!! Always the best videos my friends at Green Aqua!! I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed day 🙏🥰🌿🐟🌿♥️

[nanoreaper]

I have found these tutorial series very informative keep it up

[Krishore_Aquatics]

Great Video for RO System got all the information from Tommy Sir Great Presentation Sir Keep it Up Sir

[White]

Отличное видео, вся понятно пояснил по осмотической воде

[ReadyAquarium]

Interesting explanation Videos keep them coming...

[ahmadsaidi]

Thanks Tommy, my questions is 1) is ro filter remove chloramine?
2) tds meter will give different readings according to water temperature, so what the accurate temperature give accurate reading?
thanks
