    I have probably 30 gallons of RO/DI, and plenty of salt. I'll be around all day on Monday.

    Default RO water

    If anyone needs large quatities of RO water, you can go to most Wallmarts and they have a Culligan water dispenser in the soda/water section of the store. It is tap water that is first run thru a sediment filter, then a carbon filter, then reverse osmosis, then a UV sterilizer. It costs 29 cents per gallon. I bing several 5 gallon drinking water dispensers and get 20 or 30 gallons at a time. When I first set up my 75 gallon tank, I got all 75 gallons there (well probably 55 gallons if you consider the sand and rock displacement) all at one time, so you can get large quantities fast.
