Hello fellow reefers, I'm finally giving in and purchasing an RO/DI FILTER unit and would appreciate any advise and recommendations on a favorite. I only have a small 72 gallon reef tank, so my partial water changes will be only 15ga a week. I cant waste too much water because I rent and dont want to annoy my landlord. LOL....
Thanks

Ive heard good things about Coralife and Bulk Reef Supply RO/DI units.
I just ordered a Bulk Reef System the other day myself.. i'll let you know what I think of it in a few days

The BuckEyeFieldSupply unit is great, and has impeccable support. This is the unit I own.

I used to own a coralife RO filter and didn't really like it. The parts that were used were cheap and hard to use. It was also really expensive for a really small unit. Now I have a 75 gpd unit from ************** and I love it. They use quick-connect fittings everywhere so it's really easy to take apart. And it gives me 0 tds even before the DI resin. And it wasn't too expensive.

Google the term "Airwaterice". They have a number of units that are made just for us Reefers....... Service, cost and quality are hard to beat

get any ro/di unit you want and buy an automatic shutoff kit.. that way you won't waste water at all once your container fills.

Hey WATERLOGGED I was looking at their site and the mighty mite is priced well but my question to you is how long will it take to get 10ga. of ro/di water ready and roughly how much water loss (bad water)?

My bad water goes right down the drain so I have no idea about how much. I don't know of it being more than any other unit. It probably takes around 4-5 hours. I just let it run while I am watching football or doing chores so to me it is not a big deal. But mine also isn't tieing up a sink. I have it hooked up beside my wash machine. I bet it is not the fastest but it is cheap and mine has produced 0 tds for a long time.

According to my Bulk Reef unit manual my unit does 3 1/2 gallons an hour, and it says 3-4 times disgard water is normal.
