Ok so I ordered the Aquaticlife 3 stage RO unit from amazon. I'm already regretting it and it hasn't even come yet. First off it has no reviews. What an idiot right? Well it has no DI stage and I was wondering what TDS I can achieve with this unit.

I use just RO and get 4-5ppm. I have a FOWLR and reef, both have been fine. Haven't lost a coral.

I will definitely let you know. Not sure why I didn't get a 4 stage for 10 bucks more. Hopefully it works out

I just checked and mine from the tap is 166ppm. I just tested a batch of RO last night and it was 3 ppm.

I bought the same set up you did ended up ordering the di later. I'm a little over a hundred gallon in a my di filter is about half way exhausted based on the color. My tds is 500-600 out of the tap and 30 coming out of the ro so your will probably Last much longer. It is super easy to hook up though.
