oops sorry didn't realize you were in edmonton until after I posted too bad you werent in van cause I got a modded 1200 also for the rodi why don't you purchase a aquasafe rodi maximus off ebay they're 150 + 50 for the filters and then youre set for the next 5 years lol.

I agree with tang daddy regardging the RO unit. The AquaFX, while a nice unit, is a bit overpriced IMO. The Aquasafe units available on ebay or through their website are very good unit. I run one myself and have so for almost 4 years now and I haven't had any issues with it yet. Also, consider getting a RO storage tank since its handy to have some RO water on hand in case of any emergencies.

A TDS meter will tell you how well your RO unit is performing and is a good indicator as to when you need to change your RO filter cartridges. You don't absolutely need one though.

Nice choices on the lighting and skimmer!

Oh, also, I'm not sure, but it looks like that maxi-jet mod package requires you to get the suregrip mounting magnet as well?

the maxi-jet might i don't know maybe.

Since you are pricing things out are you considering reoccurring costs (eg salt, testkits bulbs, electricity etc).

Also, that's a good choice in salt. Its a bit pricey, but supposedly one of the better ones out there.
