Hey guys, trying to take advantage of the BF sales going on everywhere. Need some help deciding!
Need an rodi unit. Currently getting water from LFS. Here is what i know, i know that my city uses chloromines, and that my tds is likely to be 200+ from the tap. Good waterpressure though (60-75psi according to city)
After some research and asking friends ive come to the conlusion that i should either get a spectrapure or BRS one.
http://spectrapure.com/RO-RODI/RODI-SYSTEMS/Chloramine-Removal-90-GPD-RO-DI-System $230
http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/brs-6-stage-universal-water-saver-plus-ro-di-system-150gpd.html
$230
Im told i should get one of these larger systems, but others have said all i need is a standard 4 stage one like the following.

$125
http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/brs-4-stage-value-plus-ro-di-system-75gpd-1.html
$140.
Obviously if i can spend LESS money id prefer that but if i actually need the larger system or it has benefits worth the extra coin over the other then i can go that route.
Also, I am thinking about getting a reactor to help with nutrient export. Thinking of going with the BRS mini reactor with mj1200. It says it holds 3/4 cup of media which my understanding is more than enough for a 65 gallon system. Leaning towards 1/2 cup rox.8 carbon and 1/4 cup high capacity GFO.
OR
The new Aquamaxx one

Finally, I need another powerhead. I currently have an mp10wes, but i need more. I like the ecotech but i dont really want to spend another ~300 on one.. Ive narrowed it down to 3 options.
First, jebao rw8, ~$80 on amazon.
Second Neptune WaV, ~$200
Finally, another Vortech. Great pump, just hoping i can get something good for less.
Please let me know your guys's thoughts and suggestions!
