    Anyone have a TDS Meter in Cedar Rapids?  Trying to narrow down Cyano issue and want to check my RO water.
    Or if you know of a company that will test it let me know.  Otherwise i will just order new membranes.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    I have a hand held that you can borrow. I do have a extra inline one, but not sure what shape its in, It has been packed away for quite a while now. I would check it but no RO unit to check it on. But your welcome to it if interested. Just pm me if interested in either.
    On quick cure, while you are trying to find the cause is to keep the tank in the dark for 2-3 days.  It will kill the Cyano that's in the tank.  It won't hurt any coral not to have light for that amount of time.   I have done this myself when my 180g was having the same issue.  But if you don't find the cause it will just come back.

    Thank you all for the responses, I will probably stop into the store tonight Nick and try that first.

    I have tried the lights out for 3 days but its pretty thick stuff... lol. Im about 95% sure its the RO but just want to make sure.
