I've never owned a RO/DI unit before but have been trying to decide on getting one for a while now.
There is a LFS about three miles from me that sells their RO/DI at $0.35 a gallon. They seem to have the lowest TDS out of any LFS in the area. They also sell RO/DI (+Tropic Marin) saltwater at $1.15 a gallon.
My tank is a 60 gallon with a 10 gallon (cramped!) sump. I do 5 gallon water changes every week and use about 2.5-3 gallons a week in top off water.
I'm trying to decide if a RO/DI unit would be a good investment. Is it better for people with bigger tanks or who regularly do larger water changes? Do you believe they are a good idea for smaller tanks?
