BRS has a video that shows exactly how to hook up and install.

Watched it. It all makes sense and i want one, but it really seems like it is best to run one with a sump right?
 
I think so, yes. The pump for it even though small would still be unsightly. It would be sacrilege, at least for me, to put in in my DT :). It could be done though.
 
I was steered away from the e-bay ro/di units. They are very affordable. How do you like yours? Have you had it for long? Would you recommend it to any one ?

Got it. Well i guess i'll buy the gfo and carbon plus some bags. Then use it when i get a reactor going. Need a sump though thats the first order of business

I like mine. Had it for a year and i do recommend it. But i couldnt say if the water is at 0ppm for sure. Ive never tested mine. But, algae in my reef in minimal
 
Gotcha thanks. I bought a coralife one that was used - it looks like the filters need to be changed but I guess just to be safe ill wait to see what your tds meter reads . Im waiting on my tds meter in the mail as well. I feel more comfortable buying a 60$ unit that does 100gpd for example then spending $180 on a $50 gpd unit from BRS or somewhere. Did your unit come w/ faucet adapter for the sink?
 
I have a pretty bad algae breakout recently so I was hoping a new unit would help but all my params are normal. excess nutrients are coming from somewhere.
 
Okay cool the replacements came. Hey fort, now how do i put them on? I have an idea but i wanna make sure
 
That I could not tell you. I have the BRS system so mine come apart differently I think than the eBay one.
