    Good RO/DI unit???

    in Equipment

    Posted

    I just purchased one yesterday. I'll set it up and give you some feedback. My other unit was great but too large to handle so I wanted something compact. Mine was $50 on Amazon Prime. I think if you keep looking at the item the price drops [emoji1]

    awesome price and with two day shipping you can't beat it! I'm not in a huge rush to get one, since I have an old one, so some feedback would be nice:)

    Did you also get the "upgrade" DI resign part to make it 4 stage? Or just 3. Also are you using city water or well water?

    Just getting some back ground to compare to my situation:) thank you!

    Saw this little RO/DI until on amazon. Have any of you used this little guy with success? What are your opinions on it? Its a small footprint and is only $59 for a 3 stage and for an extra $30 you can add a DI resign to make it a 4 stage. $90 for a 4 stage sounds good to me. What do you guys think, I would love to hear your thoughts on this unit.

    I've got a nice mini zoa garden for you! The zoas are on a giant turbo snail shell. They were mounted like this back in Augest as 2-3 polyp frags. So they are growing and happy. I'm located in the Salem area but will be traveling to Portland this weekend and the following weekend.

    Sunny Ds-7 polyps, Devils armor-12 polyps, Armor Of God-15 polyps.

    The price is $100 OBO. That's about $3 per polyp! If you want other colors added to the shell an extra cost just ask and I'll see what I can do :)

    Sorry the picture isn't the best, it's taken with my phone!

    Pm me with any questions.

    Thanks for looking,

    Cody

    Well finally broke out the good camera and tried to get some shots for a sale thread I'll be posting up soon. But I got carried away and just took pictures of everything lol! I love taking pictures of my corals but I found it really difficult to get a good/true representation of the color. But here are some of the pictures that turned out alright. If you have any pointers on getting better pictures, feel free to comment. I am always open to advice :) I found that getting my white balance right was the hardest part for me. anyways I hope you enjoy the pictures!

    SUPER amazing photos. PLEASE share some of your photography tips. Some of the best macro photos I have seen on here.

    agreed! I tried breaking out the nice camera today but by the time I finished I just felt discouraged. Some pointers would be awesome:)

    No idea but it's not a lot haha. Here is the info about lights. They are OR t247 hanging maybe 20" above the water. Blues at 60 and whites at 35. Frags are about 4" under the surface. I've been slowly increasing blues the last few weeks and will continue too. Did a lot of reading that people use blue only tanks to increase color. So I'm giving it a shot. Mine may not grow a lot, but I'm shooting for best color lol!

    Like I said the red is faint but I can still see it. Fingers crossed that it gets brighter!

    I'll post mine up tonight! This stick is turning into a sick piece! It's developed faint red polyps around the top for me(gonna give it more light.) I'll break out the nice camera and try to get some good shots for you. Getting the right white balance is always hard for me though so it won't look perfect ha.
