    Suggestions PLEASE! RO/DI unit.4stage

    Thanks mfdrook...! I wonder if a small marineland 3in1 pump/powerhead would work? That is a cheaper option, if it would work. Im unsure of psi from tap. We will test it.

    Suggestions PLEASE! RO/DI unit.4stage

    Thanks for replying. I want a 4 stage, so its gonna end up being a 50 gpd unit. I knew they had drain lines, but had no idea we were looking at that much waste. I plan to buy a tds meter, so built in is nothing I need.

    Re: phosphates...we will have to pick up a test kit to test it. We use tap water for pwc's. I thought the chem-pure would help and we converted to sand substrate. Its all helped but iour CAE keeps getting sick, and its always when the brown stuff comes back.

    Thanks for replying! We have eheim eco pros and fluval 405 canister filters. We just thought uv sterilizers would help keep water quality pristine. We have no idea what brands or styles are best. Thanks again; I'll read up on use in fw tanks.
