Also heard they have best price on large Red Sea coral pro salt. I believe 54.99$ that's EXTREMELY cheap

In no particular order, and not that I like all listed, but... Underwater World, Animal Instincts, Aquastetics, Coral Reef Aquarium, Ocean State Aquatics, Fish Bowl. I personally would avoid Animal Instincts and Fish Bowl like the plague however. Underwater World is my go to, but Coral Reef is also super good and over the past few years has REALLY stepped things up with an extremely impressive and healthy coral selection, most of which is very reasonably priced to boot. If you're into palythoas and zoanthids, the member GSXR750 on here lives in Fall River and has a fantastic selection for cheap as well.

Have to give these places a shot. I've been to some of them. I bought RODI from fish bowl once . I asked them if I tested it , what it would read on a TDS meter. The girl said it would be right on point and that they had just changed filters . On my way home I stopped at a hydroponics place , bought a TDS meter . Tested the RO and it read 60!!!! Never went back there again.

What they didn't tell you is the reason they call it RO water there is literally because they don't have a DI on it. Lol. They're total scumbags there. They sell puppy mill puppies, and other mill small animals there; that's a red flag to explain everything.

Agreed . The one I went to was in Fall River . I need to buy an RODI machine. It would pay for itself in 3 months.

My tap is 72 here in Somerset too. If you get an RODI unit, I highly suggest Airwaterice. I have the mighty mite 50gpd and it was $90, plus a free TDS meter, and there's a BRS discount. I think I seriously paid $80 for everything including shipping lol. Check it out.
