What size RO/DI system?

EWC88 · 07/08/2012, 04:46 PM

What size system would you recommend for a 37g tall tank? Also any brands that are recommended?

Andrew · 07/08/2012, 04:48 PM

The smallest would be a 75 gpd which is more than enough that you should only have to run it 1-2 times a month. I got mine from bulkreef suppyl and couldn't be happier. One thing to consider is checking your current water pressure. If it is too low or ran by a well you will want to invest in a booster pump.

I see bulk reef has different stages, does that matter on what stage I get?

Some people run double carbon blocks or dual di resin. The only advantage of dual di is not having to change it out as often. Their 5 stage would be perfect for most people.

+1 for the filter guys. You can email or call them and they will walk you through exactly what you need. Ordered mine a few years ago and had to call them to make sure I had the correct plumbing parts to connect it and they were very helpful.

I would go with a Bulk Reef Supply one. They have one for about $130 that should be plenty for your tank. Comes with faucet attachments and is literally plug and play

Any or most standard 75gph is good enough to use. I have one from air, water and ice as well as a BRS unit. Some have all the extras which cost more but isnt needed at the same time.
