    Carbon tank or RO/DI system for shrimp

    I will be keeping multiple varieties of shrimp some of which are very expensive. Should I stick with the carbon bottle or purchase something like this to help with the TDS and chloramines? So, basically the most important things are TDS, ammonia, lack of chlorine and chloramines. I know there is a TDS measuring tool but how do I measure GH and KH? Thanks for your help!!!!!

        I would run both, the carbon bottle would allow more life from your ro/di membranes.

          the RO/DI unit that he is looking at (in the link above) has a catalytic carbon filter as its first stage so that sounds like a good upgrade

            It is but the extra carbon bottle doesn't hurt.

              Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
              Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.
