I'm curing 60lbs of LR at the moment and going back and forth to and from the grocery store to get RO water is getting pretty annoying. I can't afford to get an RO/DI system, but I heard somewhere about using regular water filters, like Brita filters? Has anyone ever tried this?

If budget is what you are after, there are tap water filters at King Ed's for I think $34 which works well for aquarium water. The refill cartridges there are only $20 as well.

I bought my 6 stage RO/DI from Aquasafe Canada. It was <$160 shipped with a TDS Meter. It came with everything needed to install under my sink. Had it for 6 months and I'm totally satisfied. We bought a water cooler and a few jugs. Life's good now for my family and reef! :biggrin:
