    RO Unit. Do I need one?

    I love my ro/di unit, waste water was a concern for me as well, I have my unit set up in bathroom, so each time I filter water, I use waste water to clean bathtub, sink, walls, mop wooden floors, etc.... I recommend the unit, you & reef will be happy :)

    Sump

    Completely agree with Dave :) I was going to place sump, next to 55 gal tank, cause I have back issues with age, but do to lack of space, had no choice, sump size, skimmer height, etc.... I built a custom stand. I need to purchase a larger home, Lol !!! Happy reefing !
