RO/DI just seems so expensive and confusing.

I got my TDS from ebay cheap $20 from this guy. Has temperature probe on it too, great fro checking the water before adding

And RO/Di isnt confusing or expensive. I got my 50gpd Kent 4 stage RO/DI form ebay as well. $50 I would use RO/DI for a Fowler. I am going to. I use it fro my Freshwater tank as well. You know for sure that your removing all the bad stuff when using RO/DI. I am also on a well. My water is really hard from the well. 600-700PPM out of the tap. With the RO/DI(which is used, needs new filters) I am getting 10PPM water. Much softer
