i thought about an RO unit, but there is so much waste and the bills are expensive enough as it is, also thought about a Deioniser but i live in a very hard water area and would be buying resin far to often, hence im left with the option to buy it

its only a 180litre tank ( my first marine ) as i already have 2 tropical tanks in my room
