I run a 6 stage chloramine deluxe /dual deionizing unit with 1 extra caniter in front for 5 micron and a pump and second TFC membrane to cut waste in half and double my good water!
Mine came with ALL the bells and whistles;
Dual inline TDS meter(measures before and after DI ,HM digital meter to count gallons/time for each cartridge,
2 flush valves to clean different cartridges,
Oil filled pressure gauge....
Several years old and just bought my pump and 150 kit from them and it works like a charm...
Spectrapure is another real good brand..

+1 to BRS
I run the 4 stage 75GPD Value Plus unit. Only complaint is the 4:1 waste ratio, if you get the water saver upgrade you need 65PSI and I only have 50. I don't think a booster pump is worth the extra expense of the water, at least for me....ok my parents

I am one of those crazy fish people?
I thought we had more!!!!
I like pictures.....
On the angel fish note ;
I shipped a breeding pair of GBR to CleverBs last week(mon).
They really looked like they were going to spawn from like Weds night right up until I shipped Mon morn.
Although they arrived in good condition I was made aware last night/yesterday that she had passed....
CleverBs noted water on arrival was 78 an there was an ammonia reading?
The ammonia could be because I only 24 hour fast??
But I really think the death is/was of a breeding condition issue?
Just thought this was worth mentioning.
Knowing this now (believing this)I would not ship those angels until they spawned myself....
Even 24hr.

Why do you think it was a spawning condition issue instead of the ammonia?

Because I never fast fish for more then 24 hours so the only difference with these fish is the fact she was ready to spawn..
Much like Poppas comments days ago,
I really thought this pair I sent was easily going to spawn before shipping.
Like Andy said it is like one for free and those are rare so it was noted...

Also full grown GBR ,healthy,(Clever said he never saw a GBR so big!)
AND
THE MALE IS STILL ALIVE AS OF YESTERDAY AND FINE......

[PoppaRyno]

Hmmmm.... That statement makes me a tiny bit worried.

Will post pics this evening. Went and looked at some pisto caucatuoides last night. I wasnt impressed to say the least. Short fins, unclean water, muted colors. Had to pass.
