Hey All,
New reefer here and my tank has been running since Dec08. Currently still using treated Tap water but I know I need toinvest in an RO/DI Unit.
My setup is a 45gal Tank with a 20L sump/Fuge. I average about 5gals a week for Top Off and do weekly 5Gal water changes.
So, I will need to make approx 10G a week of RO/DI water. I've been looking around the web and at some of this forums vendors for a unit. I see they have 50gpd units for under $100 and 75-100 for around $150.
As I'll be making such a small amount of water, is it worth spending the extra $50 on the larger units? Does anyone use those compact style ones?
Here are two examples:
