What do you look for when buying one? Are they maintenance/$ intensive?
Its more the phosphate that you have to look at. Which will cause nasty algae. They are not that expensive 100.00 for a good one and they really don't cost alot of money to upkeep. Just when you have to change di and cartridges which is really about every 6months depending on how high your usage is.
