So your DI resin is spent if you see more than 0. There is every possibility that the DI at this point could be making the water worse. And I'm not sure what checks you think you are going to do to prove the water is good, to see the things we're talking about at the levels we're talking about would take some hella-expensive lab equipment that I am sure you don't have at home.

torch opened up as soon as i put it in the tank, its doing great. Blasto stayed closed up until this morning. blues came on and it was half open. when the whites kicked on it opened fully, so i fed them both. its so exciting, I'm such a geek right now, lol.
