TDS after the membrane is 15ppm and after the DI is 0ppm. i changed the particle filter and the carbon block. still smells. doesnt really taste bad if you hold your nose and i am sure the fish dont mind smelling fishy, but i would like to drink the non fishy smelling water. the first two filters did not smell so i assume that it must be the Resin cannister. has anyone experienced this before?

This isn't an uncommon occurrence - its your DI resin. The smell is not necessarily indicative of poor resin performance - and it sounds like yours is working fine.

thanks buck,
i ordered some more resin from you a few days ago. will that cure the problem? or do i need to add another carbon block behind the DI?

I'd not worry too much about it - just use the resin as you would normally, and keep up with your routine checks on the tds.
