Welcome to RS! And good luck planning your way into a more complete system.

My two cents -- When Witt says mushrooms are "tough" I believe he means "hearty" not "difficult" so they make for a good early choice, as you noted. Just to be clear.

Can you get RO water from a local fish store? Do you have the room needed to set up your own RO/DI system without it taking over your kitchen or office? Your profile does not offer any clues here.

We live in a tiny apartment in San Francisco where an RO/DI set up is not practical. So we run an errand to the LFS weekly or so for top off and water change water. Sure it adds up, but the alternative has its 'costs' as well.

I would target a skimmer.

So many decisions! And so many trips to the bank! LOL

Good luck.
