Default RO/DI Recommendations

I would like to invest in a RO/DI filter, but have absolutely no idea what size, brand, etc. I have a 29g Nano. It generally needs to be topped off at least every other day. I'm tired of buying distilled water.I'm sure I can count on you folks to steer me in the right directions.

Hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th!

Thanks.

Linda

I buy all of my r.o. supplies from Buckeye. I don't see you needing any more than a 50 gallon per day (g.p.d.) unit. Have a look here:

You could also check out our sponsor pages to see if anything there suits your needs

Check out the MightyMite + RO/DI from www.airwaterice.com Products and answers for your water treatment needs.. Sells for $99. Perfect size for a 29. These guys are very helpful.

I agree with Glampka. The AirWaterIce folks are very helpful and the Mighty Mite seems the right size for your needs. I got their Compact ReefKeeper model, which has a greater output for only $30 more. Don't forget to buy a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) meter; it will prove to you that the filter system works and point out when it is time to buy new filters.
