RO water

[wood0691]

im looking to find out what I need to make my own RO water, I plan on going bigger with my tank from a 14G to a 55G and wont be able to bring that much water home from the LFS thats 30 miles away. is there an easy and kinda cheap way i can do this at home? ive searched but no luck, can anyone help me out on this? Thanks

You can get a ro/di on ebay for 100 bucks if you don't wanna spend a lot of money.

Rodi systems have come way down in price!! You can get one of the eBay ones cheap, then I'd replace the filters with something high quality like spectrapure. They occasionally even run specials where you can get one of their systems for $120. Great deal and the have replacement filter packages for $52. I own an ebay unit but always use their filters

I ordered the 120.00 RO/DI refurbished unit on this site http://www.spectrapure.com/email/customer-appreciation.html#1

thats exactly what i was looking for guy's. that 120$ rodi looks like the one for me being its in the budget for my WIFE!!!! she hates my tank but i dont care im still going for it. she even told me no on the 55G tank but i went and put on my BIG BOY PANTS and said I can have you and my tanks or just my tanks, your choice.......I'll let you know how that turns out later lol
Thanks again for the info and the link piper, phishguy and rl321.

Spectrapure is a dealer not a manufacturer...you can get a descent RO most any place..form Home depot to Wal-mart....the important part is the filters and membrane. Here is a link I posted in another thread that gives my opinion on RO...PS I have been in the water treatment business for 25 years... http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?p=19264810&posted=1#post19264810
