BigMac, Need Input

Hey, what gph did you get on your spectrapure? I basically have a 72gal reef, and I contain my makeup water in a 15gal aquarium that is always up and running, so collecting water really isn't an issue. I topoff 1gal a day. I was thinking of just going with the 25 gph model. What do you think? I'm also hooking the same unit up to my refriderator/icemaker.
Also, do you have the 4 or 5 stage model? I'm looking a the Plus 2000-AR.

Well, the thing about a timer, is that the RO will be attached directly to the refridgerator for water and icemaker, thus it needs to stay on most of the time for that. When I need tank water, I'll have to switch off the water running to the fridge, and turn on the water running to a bucket or whatever. I expect to collect tank water 1 day out of every wk for regular top off, and then as needed prior to a water change.
I can probably see how a cooking timer works to alert me that its time to check the RO when I'm collecting water.
So, do you think that super unit I'm looking at is overkill?? It has an extra membrane in there so that you have a backup--no mistakes in case a membrane exhausts.
Thanks for your help and advise....I am obviously not diy/equiptment inclined....so why do I mod this forum??? I have been asking myself, other mods and admin that for a very long time!
