1.GPD stands for Gallons per day.
2. It's connected to the water supply not used for filtering your tank.
3.They remove about 99.9% of everything in the water. My water came out of my RO at about 5-10 ppm (parts per million)
If you use a RO you need to add trace elements back to the water.I used to use 50% RO and 50% tap water when doing water changes.

i thought thats what GPD stands for so does that mean a 200GPD ro filter wil take 24 hrs to fill a 200g tank (i dont think so) or does that mean thats all it can filter each day? i see that filter elimants are like 25$ how many gallons will each one filter? sorry for basic ?s its just i have found some units for like 100$ to 500$ and i dont want to get the wrong one. i have 1 180g, 2 20g, 1 55g and im planing on a 250g in the distant future
