I was given a Marine depot Kleanwater 6 stage RODI system. He also gave me 5 gallon buckets of Brightwell Code A, Code B, etc but I will save my questions about that once I start to get my corals started.
I am just getting back into the hobby, currently have a 16 gallon biocube cycling that I will use as my QT tank. The display is a 60G AIO I am currently in the process of piecing together. So 76 gallons-ish total and 10% weekly changes will be say 10 gallons weekly with top offs.
My previous experience with RODI systems was just a RO buddy that I had in college attached to the basement sink for my 150 gallon system. Upon looking at the RODI system i noticed a few things right away:
-there is no attachment to a sink, but it looks like it would be easily plumbed with bits and pieces from BRS
- looks like 2 of the stages are empty, so i will need to replace atleast two of the filters
-this thing way more involved that my RO buddy, atleast from what I can tell.
Now my questions are the following:
-are any of the fittings or replacement pieces for this system going to be difficult to find seeing as MarineDepot is no more?
-i live in northwest montana, the water quality is awesome, is this RODI system overkill and should I try to trade it for something less substantial?
All help is greatly appreciated!
