I live in Phx, AZ and our water sucks. I got the RO/DI unit, and from what I
was told, it is the best way to go. Personally, I would suggest you call
Charles Gibbs at Spectrapure, and ask him. He will ask you some questions on
your water, what you plan on doing with the unit long term (using it for
auto refill, how many GPD you need etc etc) and will also give you an idea
of how long to expect your membranes and resins to last. His number is
480-894-5437, he is honest and will give you good advice on what will work
best for you. One other thing, you can usually get the units cheaper through
one of the mail order places than you can directly through Spectrapure, so
get your info from Charles, figure out exactly what you want and then order
from a mail order place (unless this has changed and Spectrapure is
cheaper).
My 2 cents worth...

Subject: water filter question
Hello I am looking at getting a spectrapure, MPRO RO unit. Anyone
use or
have comments on this product. How much water should I expect it to
produce
before I would have to replace the filters. Would it be worth the
extra
money to get the RO/DI unit or does the RO work quite well by
itself. Any
comments/feedback greatly appreciated.
Steve

Shane,

What do

Nothing. I have a colony the grows like a weed, 5mm per
week. It
started
out as a frag about 40-50mm long. Now it is a colony that
is 350mm
across
and 300mm tall. Somewhere around 2 years old now I think,
or
something
like that. Most of the branches have reached the water
surface in
my tank.
The water is a bit wavy, so the tips can actually grow
about the
water
surface. But then they die off, and the coral starts to
grow
outwards, bit
like a mushroom type of shape. I have another colony of the
same
species
that was only 10cm from the water surface. If you pulled it
out of
the
tank and turned it upside down and placed it on a table it
would sit
flat.

light. I
Just give it some more time. Not every coral is the same.
If you
find you
can't give it full intensity, then simply don't and find a
spot
where it is
happy. Don't aim for "rules" that people tell you, aim for
what
keeps the
coral happy.
Catch ya,
