Default Ro/di

Ok so i have a small tank, 30 gallons. I am currently not using RO/DI but would like to. I was looking at the mighty mite, a suggestion i saw on these boards somewhere. Its pretty well priced at airwaterice.com. This should be sufficient for my use correct?

Be sure to get the Mighty MIte + DI. I have that unit - it's perfect for your size tank.

Be sure to get a TDS meter while you're at it.

TDS
Measures total dissolved solids. It will help you determine when your filters need to be changed. Airwaterice sells a small one for under $20.

Yeah, just remember Ryan and Gary said go for it first. My damage did not come until 4 hours later. I don't want the blame for this one. Um...always shop around.

lol

lol, well if i didn't shop around it would be no ones fault but my own! I searched in froogle.com and didn't find it anywhere else. I also did a Google search just for the brand and didn't find it anywhere else either. but there is a very popular musical instrument brand under that name! and now that i think about it, just the RO unit was 79 i believe. So thats probably what brian got
