Adding Water

Jimmy Fills His Reef Tank with RODI Water + Mixes Salt | Newbie Tank Build 2.0

Jimmy has reached a huge milestone in his reef tank build—adding water! In this episode, he demonstrates how he set up his RODI system, ran the hose directly into the aquarium, and explains why RODI water is the best foundation for a saltwater tank. He mixes Red Sea Coral Pro salt right in the display using Voyager pumps, checks salinity with a Hanna Checker, and works through a few hose and sump challenges along the way. Jimmy also shares insights on auto top-off systems, leak prevention, and connecting devices like the Reef Mat through the ReefBeat app. With water flowing, his reef tank is one step closer to welcoming fish and corals!
