So you are saying use an RO wich removes all the nutriants from the water and a chemilizer to put the nutriants back it the water?

If you are using a drip system the ammonia would be seriously diluted to the point the filter would break it down without any problems before ammonia could accumulate in the tank.

If you want to do an RO filter, just use charcoal filters in it instead of all the RO filters. The ammonia will be handled in the nitrate cycle through your tank filter.

A chemilizer is a device you can buy that will automatically add chemicals to your tank using your drip system. (I think - no experience with one).

I would say so.

When changing water with dechlor, ammonia is a normal byproduct. The drip system would put much less stress on the BB by not creating sudden spikes.

So would it be a good idea to add the drip over the bioballs in the sump so it can cycle before it even gets to the tank?

It doesn't really matter. .5ppm in a drop won't make any difference in a large tank. Either way, it passes through the filter before ammonia accumulates.
