|  R/o System on Ebay
Hi,
This looks like a great system, anyone buy one or use this system
The tank is lined, all I would need is a cut off valve for the sump.

Thats the same system that my bf's parents have attached to the kitchen sink. They have about 600 gal of fish tank and it keeps them from having to constantly run to the fish store for supplies. I'd get it if you think its worth the money. Depending on how much the LFS is selling the RO for and how much in gas your using to get there and back. Dont know bout gas prices out there, but here they are around $3.50 a gallon....  _________ 40 gal acrylic tank, 20 gal wet/dry sump, 3.7 gal HOB CPR fuge, CPR bak-pak skimmer, Eheim canister filter, 192w Coralife CF, 150w 10k MH, 200w heater 40lbs of live sand, 50 lbs of live rock 8 blue leg hermit crabs, 2 Turbo snails, Tiger brittle star, sand star, 3 feather dusters 1 T.Crocea, 1 Pajama Cardinalfish, 1 mandarin dragonet, 1 purple firefish, 1 hi-fin banded shrimp goby ast mushrooms, xenia, zoa's and glove polyps Malama na Honu | |

| tired of hauling water
HI,
I have a great water system at work and so far they have been ok about me stealing water but hauling those 5 gal tanks in and out of the lab to my car gets old.
then I haul them in the house and to the tank pour off a gal or two refil the sump don't exceed the sump limits tweak the skimmer cause the water level changed it would be so easy to set it and forget it. aal I would need is a good cut-off for the sump that system has pressure tank to refil the sump. My only concern is the tank lined with plastic..Its seems to be a bladder tank

Buy one that includes the DI resin bed. It is another step in purifying the water and exchanging bad ions for good (a simplified explanation). You will be much better off with RO/DI instead of just an RO filter. Enjoy.
