What is the Best RO/DI unit I can purchase, that is reasonably priced, and deliver good quality. I need it for my FOWLR 125 gal. tank. I need a good unit around $200
The Best RO/DI unit for price?

I have the Reefkeeper Typhoon II from airwaterice. I got it on ---- (new) for ~ $175 (I think 
) with shipping. I opted for the type that does up to 100 gallons per day, with no storage tank. I just have it fill a 50 gallon rubbermaid trash can. I got the adapter so that it threads onto the 'garden hose' style threaded faucet on my laundry tub for water supply (just hook it up when I need it, no plumbing). I mounted the filter on the wall behind the sink. Very easy. Nice quality. Great price.

I got the compact reef 100gpd RO/DI for $149 plus shipping. Installed 2 weeks ago. Plumbing was a snap, great pics and directions. Should take about 15min to drop in. Just be aware of 2 things: 1) Good water to bad water ration is about 1:4.
2) Temp of cold water; as temp decreases so does production. The formula is for every degree in temp drop from 72 is a 1.6% loss of production. So a 100gpd is based on 72 temp. My water temp right now is 56 degrees so my loss is 28gpd.
