Time to take the plunge

thx, def buy that! and then buy the reusable DI cartridge from BRS

 

+1 Thks

 

My tap water is considered one of the best in NY but would never use it on a tank. Will do on group buy

 

I would look at the spectrapure system I posted for you. You wont beat that price at all.

 

oops forgot a $20 TDs meter so ya know when your DI is spent!

 

My ? Why would a RODI need to be refurbished isnt most of the unit plastic
and filters inside nothing really mechanical right? Is a 5 stage all that neccessary? How important are those bell and whistles (meters,guages etc)*

The BulkReefSupply.com 5 Stage Standard RO/DI unit includes all the essential features necessary to start making pure RO/DI water and provides an excellent foundation for future upgrades. This system includes everything needed to make RO/DI water out of the box. See the details below and the quick compare table to compare to our other standard reverse osmosis units.

It's up to you which system to buy of course. But I don't think the BRS system will stand up to the quality of the spectrapure system is all. It is also $60 cheaper then the BRS system. Just trying to help is all.

 

I've owned two Aqua C EV180s - the first model that came out with two inputs and the later model with the single input. In both cases I was never happy with the skimmer. I'd recommend something different.

Take a look at the Reef Octopus skimmers, especially the cone models. The Bubble Blaster pumps are amazing.

 

+1 Will look into that!
Well did some researh on Reef Oct. Seems to be a few issues w/ the pumps EX: loud, failures,runs hot and the unit doesnt come w/ a manual? Any truth about this.The unit it self performs very well but im looking for a QUIET unit thats why im using Eheim pumps

 

You might be able to get away with the CPR BakPak or the Hydor Slimskim. Both are really good skimmers.
