    RODI help

    in New to the Hobby

    Good evening Well as you know I am fairly new to WAMAS. I purchased a used RODI unit from coral vue. I am not sure if I need to replace the filters. I was told I should since there dried out. It has four canisters and one on top and a booster pump. As I read more here on WAMAS I was told that water in Virginia has chloramine. Do I need to purchase a whole new system in order to remove that? I am a bit confused. I went into BRS but I don't even know what size I need to purchase! Please some one help me out!!

     

    Thanks for your assistance and if anyone would like to come by and help me install it that would be great I am in Gainesville free wend and thurs all day

    Tommy,

    See my post I'm in the exact same boat as you are! I'm pretty new to the hobby I'm in nova I was about to order the SR60 cause I really like the shallow look and I like the fact is a all in one since my last tank was a Nuvo 30 with good success. I was looking at the deep blue tanks but I would have to purchase a stand and sump and pumps ect. Not sure as I myself am not that handy! I been told that having a sump is really beneficiary for the tank so today I also saw the 70 artisian ii from cad and looks like it could work for me the tank with sump, stand and skimmer is at 1400 not to bad so maybe we should talk and see what would work for both of us . I still have a month to make up my mind as I haven't moved in to my condo. What I know for sure that I don't want to go over 70 gallons due to my time at work ect. So let's chat and get more feedback from the guys here

    Ok guys good evening so I was doing more research as I'm leaning into my first sump aquarium, I found a manufacturer which is making a 70 gallon with sump, stand and protein skimmer all included for 1400! Less than the SR60 it's from cad called the artisian ii any feedback? Or should I stick with deep blue? I perfer the shallow tanks but this one looks like easy setup!

    Is there a store in NOVA or in MD where I can see different brand tanks maybe already setup? Its hard to make up my mind on just looking at pics and youtube vids. I bealive its easier for me to decide if I can compare them physically in person. Any place you can suggest for me?

     

    Thanks

    Guys thanks for all the feedback and taking time to read my post!

     

    So as I had mentioned I'm not to convinced on the deep blue just that I feel that there is more work to do with a sump. The all in one sounds like it would be easier to manage , plus I already have most of the hardware for it just lacking a skimmer as for the deep blue I will have to purchase another gen 3 light plus a sump and a stand and return pump I think it's going to be more costly for the deep blue? Although I do love tangs and I know they do better on a larger aquarium ! I'm not too sure if I'm ready for A 80 gallon maybe I should stick with the 60?

    Lutz,

     

    Thank you for the advice. My only concern is that I'm not very handy on the DIY projects I guess that's why I always had bought the all in one I'm really wondering which one would be best for me. I never had a sump tank so let's see if anyone else has any advice on my topic.

    Hi I'm in a year with saltwater hobby. I just moved to my new condo. I don't have any experience with sump aquariums. I always had all in one. So my question is what would be a better choice for me. SR 60 or a deep blue 80 both rimless one needs a sump and the SR has all filtration built in. I already have a single gen 3 pro radion a IM reactor from my old Nuvo 30. Any advise or suggestions would be great.
