Good Morning Guys and Girls,
I'll try to keep this simple, and thanks for all the help from the replies from posted threads. I have a 60gal FOWLR, with a 15gal wet/dry sump, Remora Pro skimmer, heater, and coralife aqualight pro w/ 250 Watt MH, circulated by a mag 7. I have about 30lbs of LR in the tank currently. I am going to switch this tank to a reef tank. I've got the skimmer and the right lights (?). I want sps and a clam or two. I know that I will have to slowly remove bio-balls and add a DSB and Refugium. I am also going to buy a Mag-9 (inside display) and hook it up to a manifold for better circulation. I'm going to skip the calcium reactor (limited funds), but am not decided on whether to purchase a RO-DI unit. Could I get by without one? If not, what do you recommend? I've been looking at the Kent Hi-S because it is a reasonable price but it says that it only will guarantee 250ppm TDS. I know nothing about RO-DI units except that I hear they are highly recommended for reef tanks. Any advice/help/recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Nate
