I usually run about 4-5 gallons before I put it in my container...I believe this was recomended to my be a vendor when I asked the same question.

But the SPS can't help their feelings If they like the way they're made. And they wonder why the LPS Can't be happy in their shade..So the LPS formed a union And demanded equal rights. "The SPS are just too greedy;We will make them give us light." Now there's no more SPS oppression, For they passed a noble law, And the Corals are all kept equal By Reefer.. frag.. and saw.

when your meter reads "0"...or 1 or 2 or whatever you get

....but Puffer Daddy was right in that it usually takes 4-6 gallons or so

It is reading 0 from the very first drop, I'm pretty sure you are supposed to rinse it despite what the TDS is. I will just let it run for a few hours (about 5g worth) and then start using it.

Thanks
