Getting ready to purchase a good RO/IO system what do guys recommend. Once I have everything set up I will have about 195 gals of water i will be using it for. I'm looking to spend about $150-200.

Should I get a 4 stage over a 5 ?
 
RO/IO? Do you mean RO/DI or are you talking about something super awesome that I have never heard of. If you do mean RO/DI then I would check out bulkreefsupply.com you can set yourself up with a nice 75GDP (Gallons Per Day) 5 Stage System for $170.27 shipped.

Personally I don't see a need for a massive 150GPD and with your stated budget you shouldn't either. If you run carbon or a phosban type product you can buy both in bulk on the same order and save a ton of cash.

Another place to check out is melevsreef.com he sells some 100gpd 5 stage units for $194.00 shipped. His includes some additional hose fittings but you could just go pick those up at Lowes or Home Depot should you decide you want to got that route.

Well now you have me piece. Good luck and be sure to let us know what you decide.
 
There are three RC sponsors that I've consistently heard good things about: Air Water & Ice, Buckeye Field Supply, and The Filter Guys. I've dealt with Air Water & Ice and The Filter Guys and been extremely pleased with both. Your needs depend on several factors. Do you have good line pressure? Does your water have chloramines? Do you want/need DI as well?

If I had to suggest one company over the others it would be The Filter Guys. They are hobbiests and specialize in reef RO systems. Check our their website and give them a call for their advice. Here's their website: http://www.thefilterguys.biz/index.htm
And here's a few examples of their products that might work for you:
$124.00 â€"œ OCEAN WAVE SHELL FOUR STAGE 75 GPD REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM
$160.00 - OCEAN WAVE+ FIVE STAGE 75 GPD RO/DI
$199.00 - OCEAN REEF + 1 FIVE STAGE 75 GPD RO/DI
$240.00 - OCEAN REEF + 2 SIX STAGE 75 GPD RO/DI

HTH,

I have also used the Filter Guys and been very pleased with not only the new units but some replacement parts after they got broke in a move. Very good to deal with and answered all my e-mails and questions.
