Is all good guys at least we do all agree on one thing- HAVING A REEF FRIENDLY TANK AND HAVING AN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY TANK IS NOT POSSIBLE!!! LOL We are all grownups and is all good. Love MR is a great place with every type of person- a great example of a melting pot. Take care guys- am going to go turn on a few hydrants now:Up_to_som......LMAO!!

The RO/DI waste water has gone through your pre-filters, so it's akin to a Britta. Drink it if you feel bad.

Have always heard you can drink RO water but not DI water- dont know for sure but am not a scientist and am afraid to try it for prolonged timeframes....

I have a Puratek 100GPD RO/DI System. It makes water in a ratio close to 1:1. It has a booster pump and an auto flush and a TDS meter. I really like it.

Im surprised that no one has brought up the fact that even if we use rodi, and minimize or reuse our waste water else where...how many gallons of dirty salt water are we pouring down our drains every week for water changes...every thing in life is a give and take...and lets dont forget Jimmy did state that all water either waste, tap, used salt water, fire hydrant water does eventually get retreated and reused as our tap water...the cost of energy for that retreatment is a total different issue

Just a side note, I always find it intresting that there is the exact same amount of water on our planet as there was millions of years ago...no more, no less, its just in different stages...mother nature has been recycling water since the begin.
