Re: RODI Units

I think that 55 gal is the transition point <55 small tank >55 but <180 medium, and >180 Large that is just my opinion though.

Re: RODI Units

Smaller than a 55 gallon is very small for a marine tank. Small is 55 to 120. Medium being 125 to 265. Large being those larger than 265. A 265 is the largest mass produced tank made by the big three manafturers of glass tanks. With a tank smaller than 55 gallon I would recommend an RODI filter be bought for convience and lack of trust in others producing quality water, not for money saved by not having to purchase RO water. A pay back would be awfully slow on a good RODI system if one is only using 5 gallons or less of water per week.
