Which ro/di system?

[Baltimore Bryan]

I've decided to get an ro/di system. Is there any one that is better than others or are they all the same? I have a small tank so I would really only need like 5 gpd but I don't think they make those. Can anyone reccomend a good one for around $100 or less? Like I said, it doesn't have to be a 100 gpd, but 35, 50, or even 75gpd is fine.

There are some that are better than others, but you pay a lot more for them and don't get that much more. What you need kind of depends on the water coming out of your tap. Chances are if you have city water you'll need a better unit than if you have well water. In either case your best bet is to talk to someone who knows. Check out Bulk Reef Supply or Buckeye Field Supply. Both have sponsor forums over in the RC Sponsor section. They can tell you all you need to know.

You may find something used for under $100. But honestly, after filter replacements I feel your much better off getting one new. They are reletively inexpensive these days. You can go to any one of our sponsers and get a quality 75 gpd unit for around $180 which comes with everything you need.

Check craigslist first. I got a 2 month old bulk reef supply 75 GPD plus for $100 a few weeks ago. I have owned a few RO setups so far and I wouldn't ever have another one that did not have a pressure guage, TDS sensors and a built in flush system. Don't be afraid to ask people selling entire setups if they will part out equipment, the worst they could say is no.
