Hey All,
I'm filling my 75 gallon for the first time with RO/DI water I am making myself. I have dry rock and live sand in the aquarium. The sand said not to rinse so I poured it straight in from the bag.
The issue that I'm having is the water coming out of my RO/DI is showing 0ppm, BUT now that the water is in my aquarium it is showing 369ppm. I have the tank about 75% filled so i'm not running the sump or any filtration yet. The tank water is still fairly cloudy but clearing up. Is my high ppm because of the cloudy water? Will it go back down to 0ppm after the water clears up?
