    I'm looking to get a ro/di unit. It will be for my 10g reef tank. Ill be doing 2g water changes once a week along with topping off a assumed 5g or less a week.
    I wanted something with dual tds meters (one in and one out)
    I can't break the bank here. Something in the $150 dollar range. Maybe a lil more.

    Someone help me!!!???
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks m ocean!
    The air water and ice 75gpd with handheld tds meter looks pretty nice. Plus a 10%off! Can't beat that.
    Anyone have any other suggestions?

    Spectrapure. Best prefilters, best DI resin, best membrane, most features, one of the cheaper units in its general category, and cheapest in the long run. Check out their sale page. Spectrapure is a no-brainer when it comes to RO units.

    Would a 3 stage be good enough? Spectrapure has a good deal on one.

    Personally i think a 4 stage is your best bet, Dbo. I often wonder if things are "good enough".. and they end up not being so.
