We're going to build a wall... Taking opportunity to make a tank through the wall: one side into the living space, the other into a home office (so care *a little* how it's going to look on that side too).
Thinking 4x2 feet front and back and either 1.5 foot (90ga) or 2 feet (120ga) depth. But most likely a 120. Like the bigger volume of water.
Now, I have a 37ga tall tank (30"x25"x12") which i'm planning to convert into a sump. Thinking it should be able to do a good service and have enough space in case of a failure.
But I'll return to that later. My main question right now is RO-DI system. It is my understanding that I can get just RO unit to throw a line to my kitchen sink, fridge, whatnot, and then a line from that to a DI unit for the tank (and to feed an ATO eventually).
Are there any special parameters I should look for in such RO unit for the water to be usable in the tank?
Would I need two storage tanks?
There are lots of products with different stages. Are there better ways to hook those up like "these stages before split to DI unit, these stages after for common use"? Any stages before/after the DI unit?
Hoping to start adding live creatures by winter time. It's a winter hobby, isn't it?
Thank you,
AT.
