Damn that's some bad luck right there. I'll check my garage tomorrow if you're looking to make water soon. My unit was a 150 but I knocked it back to a 75, so I may have an extra o-ring.
Ok got the membrane leak fixed, I pilfered 2 o-rings from a RO membrane Lowe’s had laying around. Pressure looks decent at 64psi- debating on if I should up it to 70psi with my booster pump.
Let me know your TDS when all is said and done. I was running the 150 piggyback unit but felt like the TDS wasnt as good. Could have been user error for sure though. I've dropped down to 75GPD, I want to say I was always in the teens for the 150g unit.

Just realized that I’ve never run an external fuge. How does one plumb these to where it can be removed without redoing the plumbing? I hope I’m not stuck with adding additional unwanted to plumbing to be able to add a Union any help would be appreciated.
Man that is pretty tight. Only thing I can think of would be a FTP X Slip elbow, then maybe you could fit the union on the down section? Not sure how it would seal if you went threads in on the fuge bulkhead.
So smallish update. Working on connecting the return pump(s). The theory is to connect both the Varios (main pump) and the Ecotech together on the main return with a blank balance. If the Varios ever stops working twist the valve and you have your back up pump online already. The ecotech’s primary role is to serve the fuge and if needed in the future a reactor. Please give any thoughts/feedback. Am I over complicating the simple trying to do it this way in such a tight space?
Also got my salt in so I’m getting super excited. Torn on what to do about rock. Should I go Marcos, does it leach phosphate? Should I wait on Tampa Bay Saltwater -whole I’ve reached out to- and get live rock from them? I have a full cart on BRS in preparing to pull the trigger on that also includes sand.
Rock is on kind to the tank. Picked these up today form a fellow reefer. Really stoked by the piece pictured alone, should made a nice place for some torches as a ‘floating’ island.
Just waiting on my sand from BRS due later this week
