Sorry cobysreef, I didn't see your post so I wasn't ingnoring you.
It was a big decision to buy the dialyseas. I actually spoke on the phone to someone who owned one before I bought it because there was so little information about them to be found here ( or anywhere for that matter). It was a rocky start when I first got it because the instructions that come with it are poor in my opinion, and there were some faulty parts that gave me such a headache I almost sent it back. The owners customer relations skills are also terrible, but I was warned about that by the guy I spoke to on the phone. Once everything was replaced however it has worked like a charm ever since.
Essentially I got tired of the upkeep and hassel of water changes, the inevitable acccumulation of waste, and the endless battles with algae. I know I'm a bit lazy when it comes to the water changes, so this seemed the answer (though expensive answer) for me. Right now the dialyseas is changing 5gal a day. I had it set on 3, but the cyano outbreak prompted me to turn it up. Because It dialyzes the water, not just changes it, I save on salt. It monitors and adjusts the specific gravity as I set it. Its not for everyone for sure, but for this setup I am glad I bought it and would do so again.
