water station

jacksparrow7 · 02/24/2007, 10:53 AM

Hello all, getting very tired of buying and topping off the tank daily so I would like to create my own water station. Looking for a ro/di unit under $200 and a auto top unit around the same price. Also looking for photos of set ups people have if possible. I know everyone seems like using those Brute barrels as holding tanks. This is what I have, 90gal pentagon with 20 gal sump, going through about 1.5gal a day. 90lbs of LR (50 Vanuatu 40lbs Marshall Island) H&S skimmer with Bumble Bee pump, Mag 12 for return, 12k 400wse with mini reflector, ice cap moonlights, 3 120v ice cap fans,bio-therm 500w heater, 3 900 maxi-jets in tank,using elos testing kits, tank is a acrylic 30x30x30 corner. In the process of cycling the tank, about two weeks in, levels are still rising. Any help would be great. thanks Jack

Are a few reputable vendors that sell quality RO/DI units. Give them a call and they will set you up with what you need. All will be honest and easy to deal with.

As for ATO there are dozens of ways to skin that cat. I would get the RO/DI first and then we can help you find an ATO solution that will work best for your setup.
