    SO!!

    I have mustered up enough dough to get a much needed RO/DI unit!!
    I purchased a Typhoon 5 Stage from airwaterice.com

    I've heard many good things about that unit and that site actually, i hope that everything goes well and soon I'll be able to make my own 0 PPM water!!!

    I was thinking about adding a Phos Reactor to help in my battle with algae, i added a few more hermit crabs and maybe they'll be able to catch up with the algae?

    What do you guys think about the reactor?

    But I'm totally stoked on the RO/DI unit!!!:):):):):)

    Good going! That's the one I purchased. Six months later and I've never had a problem. You'll be very happy with this product.

    that's the one I want but have nowhere to put :cry:

    on the phos battle, the RO/DI will help, just do alot of water changes, add snails, crabs, stars, urchins whatever you need to keep up with it, pincushion, pencil and tuxedo urchins are voracious algae eaters

    I run a phos reactor filled with Seachem Seagel and it works wonders with phosphate reduction...

    I highly reccomend the phosphate reactor !!!! I bought one on REEFSPARKYS reccomendation. And let me tell you I could not be happier with it I am running it with the Phos Ban media and the rest of the chamber is filled up with Carbon it has been a very powerful weapon in my war on algae . And it only set me back like 50 bucks with the media.
