victoly Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I'm looking to experiment recharging GFO and DI resin, so if you're at the end of life on either of these items, save them up and I'll come get them from you. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SChrisEV Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 OOPS, I just saw this, not that it was much, but I just replaced my GFO yesterday. If the experiment is still underway next change it's all yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 What's your plan on recharging the media? I line in TN so I can't help with your experiment other than mirroring it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victoly Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 I'm recharging GFO based on this guide:http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2010/10/chemistry DI resin with this guide:http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2008-09/nftt/index.phpI have access to these chemicals and appropriate safety equipment. I want to get good at this and then work out some kind of coop where you bring me your media, I clean it, and keep some to reselll and give you the rest back. or something.

(Bio)³ Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 My parents have a few jugs of that sodium hydroxide **** laying around in San antonio for cleaning their salt water pool electro plates and other parts. I'll let you test and make sure it works before I even attempt to try this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Its kind of an economy of scale thing, especially for the DI resin. You need reactors (which I ordered) to efficiently remove the crap that you acid-ed/based out, in addition to the chemicals, and RODI water to rinse.

+olaggie01 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I've been meaning to do this with my GFO. I have several pounds of used GFO to re-charge when I figure out the specifics. Guess I need to read up on it a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 I'll have to document my experience. Maybe we can work together ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+olaggie01 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Sounds good. I don't mind donating the GFO if we can figure out the regime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
