The picture isn't mine, I have my unit plumbed in hard.

When running my 75g was getting 5g jugs of ro/di from the company that supplies water to our office. Packing the water around and the $7 a bottle it just seemed to make more sense to get my own ro/di.

Now with my 145g couldn't see doing the store bought, smaller tank might be cost effective though not as convenient as having your own unit.
