Ok Im going to need a LOT of help with this on. I am going to need to get a RODI water unit. All I know about rodi water units is that RO takes out all the impuritys and DI stands for lowers PH in its simplest terms.
First let me tell yall why I need the rodi water unit. First I have a planted tank that isnt doing well since my water comes out the tap at approx. 7.8-8.0. The second reason is my water is very hard, and TDS (total dissolved solids) is very hi form the tap the TDS is approx. 320ppm (I have a well and live in bourbon country). The third reason is I would like to get discus at some time in the near future and I know that the TDS can be high for them. I would also like to breed them at some point in time (when I get them).
The setup I am going for is: I would like to screw the rodi unit into the sink and have the rodi unit on the counter have the waist water go down the drain and have the good water go into a separate container that can be wheeled to the desired destination.
I would like to get the unit from Bulkreefsupply.com. They have a build your own rodi water unit that has great reviews (52 reviews all being 5 stars). Here is a link the website where you can build your own RODI water unit, if you cant build it from the link they are currently out of stock and it will be up once they have all there product (or at least what the guy on the phone told me) http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/produ...d-ro-di-systems/build-your-own-ro-system.html .
So please tell me what filters to get for each stage at the end are the cost also remember I don't have chlorine in my water. I would like to make it cheap but with that being said I also only want to buy once then up grade later where it costs more in the long run. The 2 tanks are a 125 planted and a 90 to be discus. I think I would like to get the 150 GPD just to cut down on waist and I would rather have more than enough water than to little, the other things I would like to get unless told other wise are flush kit (saves DI part).
