How to Stop Algae Blooms: RODI Filter Maintenance & Mixing Station Setup | Newbie Tank Build 2.0

In this episode, we tackle the root cause of a stubborn brown diatom and hair algae bloom by performing essential maintenance on the RODI system. After an entertaining feeding session with Petey the Puffer and Pennywise the Clown Trigger, I take you on a tour of my laundry room mixing station to show you how I use 20-gallon Brute cans, float valves, and redundancy sensors to prep 10% water changes. You’ll learn step-by-step how to replace sediment, carbon, and DI resin filters, and why a "0 TDS" reading might still be hiding silicates that fuel algae growth.
