    need help picking an Ro unit..

    ************** is where I got my RO/DI unit and I abosolutely LOVE it. They are really cheap and have great quality units. I used to have a Coralife RO unit and I honestly couldn't stand it. It had really bad s.c.r.e.w-on fittings that got really annoying and it was incredibly slow.

I'm pretty my tank can support them, it's a 75 gal tank with 2x175w metal halides and 2x55w t-5s. So is there anything to keeping LPS? Do I have to feed them or...

    Is the pond saltwater or freshwater? If it's freshwater it's not going to cure, it has to be in saltwater.
