Ro Unit

[Whitey_144]

HI,

I'm 1 or 2 weeks from ending my cycle, and i've given my lighting to a friend to sort out the wiring, so now its time to think about plants and fish.

For the fish im looking to get Angelfish, cardinals and apistos...basically SA fish. But my PH is around 7.8/8 so i've been looking into getting an RO option as i'm not on a water meter. I've kept all sorts of fish in my tap water, but this time want to get things perfect and hopefully get a breeding pair of angels.

I've found these 2types so far:

has a pressure gauge

same as above - but with inline TDS meter - also definately has quick connect plumbing

I believe there as seperate DI units you can add onto any of these if required?

I've been advised to get one from a well known brand, as i know someone who got a cheap one then when they stopped making them couldnt get replacement membranes etc.

So does anyone have an RO unit they recommend or any advice for me? DD seem to be well known, but the TMC one at least has a pressure gauge. is the TMC one a good make and shouldn't stop producing the spares?

thanks!
