    A decent RODI is going to run between $250-$300.

    How much is your 125 gallon glass cage with stand going to run? How much is your lighting going to cost? How much is your filtration (skimmer, refugium) going to cost? Sand, rock, powerheads? Salt for water-changes? Livestock?

    Not trying to be discouraging but setting up and maintaining a marine aquarium, especially a larger one is not inexpensive. Water is the fundamental ingredient and garbage-in gets you garbage-out. A future thread will read "How do I get rid of all this algae?".

    If you are serious about a marine aquarium your first purchase should be an RODI unit...
