Setting up my 148 gallon reef tank.....best online store for RO unit, etc
I see so much selection for on-line purchases, it is tough to know who to go with. I am in Calgary area and looking for a RO-DI unit and auto top-off unit. BRS was recommended, but given the $ exchange, may want to stay in Canada. Any recommendations on the best online site or local store? Thanks

JL for RODI and Auto Top Off - $375
BWI - 275 Admittingly it's a nice JBJ top off, however the one from BWI is dual float switch...

I've been really happy with www.bulkreefsupply.com They have a lot of selection on RO units and now no duty to Canada. Excellent customer service too.

If you get to a Costco, I saw a 5 stage there for $150 this last weekend. But Costcos varies by location on some of the stuff they carry.
I had a GE from Home Depot before (a 3 stage). I'd stay away from that, it's too overpriced. The one I'm using now is a 6 stage RO/DI from FilterDirect from eBay, it's a Water General system. I'm designed to be RO for my regular drinking water and RO/DI for aquarium use. There's 2 separate outputs for that purpose. I really like it and it was pretty cheap. It's a 100 GPD system and get's me 0-1 ppm TDS at the output. It terms of ATO, do you run a sump? For my 34G RSM I use a Tunze osmolator because it works well... but for my 72G bowfront, I just use a plain-old-plain-old float switch. All of $20 bucks and a little plexi-fabrication.
