Any RO unit recommendations?

Hi all,
I'm finally taking the plunge. I have relatively soft well water, TDS around 300 and a somewhat mobile pH. But... I have occasionally performed accidental titrations during water changes and I'm interested in working with some blackwater species, so I'm going in on an RO unit. I don't have a lot of tanks and I'm only going to be using one twenty long for blackwater for now, so I don't need a large output unit. Any suggestions? Any warnings about particular models? Thanks!
Mike

we decided that a ro unit was pointless as we have a tap ph of 6.4 we instead purchased a HMA filter.
removes all the bad things in water but leaves the positive bits and also means ph doesn't have to buffered.

I did the same with a berkey water filter. Although gh and kh are less than 1 degree out of the filter.

I've been using r/o units from Back to Nature Filtration for years. He has a wide variety of capacities and prices. You can check them out at Backtonaturefiltration.org. He also has accessories such as pH meters, etc.

Re-designing and starting a new fish room all over again. This time we'll have many more Apistsogramma species. We are expanding.

Hi,

just in case you happen to live in Germany (or Netherlands): I have a wildcaught female A. psammophila, you could have it for free. I have no use for it anymore.
