auto misting cleaning?

[lisagr07]

use distilled water??? haha...well... you assuming you use tap water and get nozzles clogged after few months depending on the quality of your city water, then you'll have to soak in CLR or vinegar to regain some of the functionality. You'll also get residue on your cage. When you get an RO system, you can also use the water for drinking and for cooking, so it better justifies an RO purchase IMO. Cuts on your maintenance, nozzles never clog, cage doesn't get mineral deposits. $130 isn't too bad for all that!

thanks Marty,,
it's not that i'm trying to cut corners really,,, it's just that we already have an RODI unit hooked up in our laundry room for water changes on our saltwater tanks and i'm not sure my husband is going to go for another water making/collection system...
just trying to find out what is second best.....

thanks,, lisa

All you need to do is put a 1/4" tee with a ball valve in between the last carbon filter and the di filter to get just ro water for you chams.

marty, you and your systems are great. I have a RO system that I purchased for the ref tanks but also use for my mist king, sits next to the laundry room sink hooked up and is super easy to use and cost less than $100 from a local aquarium store.
