Ok so I can’t thank everyone enough here but all of this info leads me one more direction. Once I have the system how do I know to replace the cartridges is it from the tds meter?

There are couple of factors... even if you don't get a BRS system they still have great videos on RODI watch this one for knowing when to replace the cartridges. I spent a lot of time researching before I jumped in. In the long run though this has saved me trips to the LFS and some dollars

instructions are usually on the cartridges , its usually 6 months or set number of gallons, for the di resin filter its whenever the resin changes color, or use tds meter . should always be outputting 0. they are cheap n easy to find.

I use rodi buddie for my 29gallon, I was thinking about getting a 60 cube in the future - will use the same rodi system.

The big thing for me is I can control the quality of my own water. Like I said before if you wand it done right do it your self. But dam there is a lot of info on RODI systems out there and each one says something a little different.

FYI guys - we are fully stocked and staffed. We build our RO and RODI systems right in our shop rather than import systems pre-built in Asia. What can we do for you?

Dont go cheap and easy! Look at a unit that suites your budget, features, and needs. I went with SpectraPure because of the TDS meter, pressure gauge, and auto shut off. plus their filtration is unmatched

Ok so looking at my options I think this one is going to be best. It has the TDS meter and pressure gauges built in to the unit. https://www.marinedepot.com/marine-...7DxtRpcEFCwUXJ2LQYI82e7dyNldctxoC_WYQAvD_BwE&

Going cheap is the worst thing to do in this hobby. Having good water is super important, especially if you want to go acro dominant one day. Having a good RO membrane, and a great RO/DI unit is a game changer. Your corals will love the fresh water. Trust me!

for an extra 100 you'll have the best RODI money can buy https://www.marinedepot.com/spectrapure-maxcap-ro-di-system-w-manual-flush-90-gpd

Spectrapure is simply the best.
