My order would be RO/DI and heater. Water quality is important but so is replacing a heater that could boil everything to bits

Thx Jessy i was leaning toward the same way as well just wanted some impute on it thx alot again.

Sounds like the wife needs her priorities realigned.

you should be able to get the filters and the heater for 100$ and the hydrometer, i still use one on my 240 reef.... its not always the actual number of the parameter, its the consistency. so if its off, but consistent, then your not doing as much harm as an off parameter that fluctuates as your trying to achieve that special number....

BTW hate hate hate hydrometers. Much better off to spend $40-$50 on a refractometer.

Agreed. Here is a full set including DI resin for $55 http://www.melevsreef.com/shop/f4.html

I found a refractometer for 20 bucks @ an industrial tool supply place. I just found it again on e-crater for 24 plus shipping. http://www.ecrater.com/p/5141693/sal...ium-ocean-reef the quality of the tool is pretty close to identical to what I've seen at my LFS's refracts selling for 60 to 80 bucks, and in six months the only thing I've found to be sub par is that I have to re-calibrate it about once every two weeks. Not a big deal, just zero it with some ro/di water and your done, so I feel that it's a valuable find.
