[QUOTE="Jason Scalise, post: 10824592, member: 121072"] I agree. I have a 65g reservoir for my RODI fresh water and it is low maintenance. [URL='https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/first-build-and-first-reef-tank-425xl-reefer.738773/#post-7704710'](Past post here if interested)[/URL] It is gravity feeds into my sump via a float valve with a powered (motorized) ball valve backup to the float valve in case float failed. (Ball valve closes when water level is too high as determined by an optical sensor. Monitored by a Neptune controller that can close the valve under various conditions as needed). I live in Arizona and it is very dry here. Humidity is often less than 10%. During the summer months, evaporations on my 90g DT is several gallons per day. But with the 65g reservoir, I easily have a month before I have to turn on the RODI unit to refill the freshwater reservoir. never even really think about it. IMO, bigger the better so long as you have proper failsafes in place and a place for the reservoir. [/QUOTE]
