Default LF: RO/DI water in southeast calgary

Is there anyone in southeast calgary who would be willing to let me buy fresh or salt water off them regularly?

The weekly drive to pisces is starting to wear on my nerves and setting up my own unit at home has also been unsuccessful.

PM me if you're interested, I'm fine to pay what pisces charges as long as I dont have to drive all the way up there.

After 6 years of struggling to grow corals and various infection troubles and crashes etc while using prime and tap water only I invested in one of these and now everything is thriving , no dosing and monthly water changes, can be a little hassle to set up but MORE than worth it in the end. Take the help and enjoy!!!

That's really rad! I've seen people with that kind of setup before.. seems a lot more effective than the RO buddy I was running out of the kitchen sink

Do you think this would be feasible for installing in an apartment? I dont have a lot of space to keep a reservoir.

I was using an RO buddy with the faucet adapter they come with. It would often blow right off the faucet and make a big mess. If it did manage to stay attached properly, it usually took 4 hours to fill a five gallon bucket and there would still be dissolved soluble in it although I dont remember what the exact reading was.

Lightly salted. Come by and we can talk. I'm in Shawnessey if you need some water or a hand setting up a RODI.
