    I put in an order last week and recieved my Refurbished 90-GPD RODI System

    ;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D;D

    Here is a temp setup :-/

    Just excited to have RO/DI water now instead of TAP! Tank is still cycling so its fairly early enough for the switch...

    Dont kill me for the ugly setup ... It is temporary...

    Actually have a quick question... So now that I have RO/DI water.. Do any chemicals or anything or is it good to go straight into my tank to replace evaporated water etc...

    99.9% sure it is good to go but I like to be 100%.. .why risk the small things

    RO/DI is fine. In the future (when you have stoney corals) you may want to add kalk to help with calcium and alk demands.

    My RO/DI system looks exactly the same, except it's a 180 gpd. You can start running it right away, just make sure to read the instructions on how to set up the flow restrictor. Also, when you're to the point of collecting useable water, let the "good" water go down the drain for 15 minutes if you haven't used the system in the last few days. This is to get rid of any unwanted chemicals. If you have any questions about RO/DI, there are many threads about them, or you can PM me!
