Ok I just purchased an RO/DI system for my tank and I am a little clueless and confused. I have net hooked it up yet, my hubby plans to help me but I need to know what I have to do. I have heard mixed things so I want to get everybody elses opinion.
Anyway, I was hoping to use the RO/DI for topoffs due to evaporations. So how would that work. I know I would need to add a float valve to my sump correct? I heard there are some that can attach to the sump b/c I can not drill into the side.
Second, When I hook up the RO/DI for this purpose does it go DIRECTLY to the sump OR do I need to use an alternate container?
Third, when I use the RO/DI water do I need to use RO right for the top offs? If so is freshwater ro right the same thing?
Fourth, I do have a 25 gallon container that I have piped directly to the sump. I use that container for the purposes of water changes, so I mix my water and my salt in there with a powerhead and heater and then I just add it to the sump when I do more water change. That is working well, but do I need to use RO right with my water changes.
Ok, I think that is all my questions I have may have some more when I get some answers. Maybe you guys can explain or post pics of some of your setups.
Thanks
Christina
