I just set one up this weekend...
I too am just starting in
SW...but after the many algae problems I have had with my well water in my 90 gallon
FW...I knew I was going to be in trouble with the
SW if I did not have the
RO/
DI system. I will also be using mine for 50:50 changes in my
FW....but 100% in the salt water tank!
I got one from Ebay, Filter Direct Brand, for $89! I was a little leary...so I spent extra and got a
TDS meter....It took my well water from 150ppm to 0
ppm (yes...zero....when I checked the first batch...it was down to 4ppm..and I was happy...after the second batch....ZERO
ppm!)
I set it up in the corner of the basement...takes up no space...it is out of sight...and I have $89 peice of mind that any algae problems are not from the water! I also can suppy a friend with some (who has been having algae and Cyanobacteria problem) who has been using tap water.
