The lights are a mixture of blue, red, white.
The pics of my tank always look very blue under the radions too. Thanks for sharing! I'm enjoying this thread

This is a hard picture to figure out but the top 4 filters are the RO system. The RO system feeds into the large blue canister below that contains 3 more filters to reach the RODI water. The inline tds meter is in the top right corner of the picture. The city water is 441 tds, the RO is 10 tds, and the RODI is 0 tds. The system ran $600 BUT it includes 5 years of filters so I'm hoping I landed an awesome deal and it was professionally installed for free. So ?, the installer said that RODI water should not be consumed by humans. Is that actually true? Google is all over the place on answers.

The water from the display tank flows over, under, all around the mess bag containing rowaphos. The water then spills into the 2 large socks and then travels on to the sump. Make sense?

Yes rodi is not for human consumption. Ro is. Once you deionize the water it's not for consumption any more...
Why system is 600$? None of the options I sent you exceed 350$?
Basically pre-buying 5 years of filters and the "free" installation.
