Can I use this with a 55 gal salt water aquarium tank? Not very knowledgeable about this stuff & my husband said he wants an ro system for his birthd

Takes the bad stuff out of water. Yes I use the water for my salt water tanks.

Yes, this will work for a salt unit. Once the membrane needs replaced I recommend upgrading to a 100GPD. Be sure to purchase a TDS meter you can check your levels regularly.

Yes you can use it on a 55g salt water aquarium it will just take a bit for it to fill as it only creates 50gpd of water.

Yes, I have it in my 55 gallons tank...just takes about 3hrs to produce 5 gallons of RODI water which is fine for weekly water changes
801944
Yes, It attaches to your sink to make clean water for the aquarium which will help keep algae down.

If you are asking about using it in a saltwater aquarium, I would not recommend it. I bought for my saltwater tank and realized it has metal parts. I ended up finding a completely pvc flapper valve to use instead.

This tank is specifically made to fit PetCo tanks. And I LOVE MY STAND! A 55 gallon is a hard fit. I searched and searched and got this one. If it doesn't fit exactly you can go to OSH or Home Depot and get a sturdy pressboard used for shelving units. That's what I did and it looks great and works extremely well! Hope that helps!

Hi James This is standard pressurized storage tank that will work with most RO systems. Thanks

I dont have any saltwater tank none the less you can use it with salt water with no problem whatsoever.

I'm not sure how you want to use this system, but if you are using it directly after your well pump, remember it is only a 75 GPD. With that said, if you don't have a pressure tank in your well system, you may want to consider getting one to put somewhere upstream of the RO unit. I agree with the other gentleman who suggested treating the water prior to running it through your system, be it water softener or whole house filtration, something to extend the life of your membrane. Also, may want to get a tester or have your water tested to determine the effectiveness of the system wherever you decide to use it. Without understanding more of your situation, hope this info helps! Good luck!

I don't think this size will fit a 55 gallon tank you may need to get two or one that fits a 55 gallon tank. It barley fits my 29 gallon tank it it wasn't for my filter it would probably fall into my tank.

Yes, very well! I have a 55 gal and its the best thing ive ever done for my tank. Plenty, but not too much for a 40 gal

I believe this filter will do what you need it to do with ease. I have been astonished by how well this filter works. I think the recommendation for the 56 gallon aquarium is because you mentioned it was a column and the water cycling is a little harder to draw the water from the bottom. I think you will be fine with this Fluval C4.

I don't see why you couldn't use it for saltwater. Should work as it is inert. I'm not a saltie- expert though, mind you.There are some substrates out there that will buffer the water better for saltwater. Saltwater requires a higher pH and a higher GH/KH. Using an inert substrate won't hurt your fish or alter the chemistry of the water- but won't provide any buffering for pH swings etc. As fish "pee" and "life-happens" the pH of the water will change slightly between water changes. You will usually be better off for saltwater with a buffered substrate... but this wouldn't be bad. I don't see why you couldn't use it for saltwater. Should work as it is inert.

It should help. I have a 55 gallon tank and at the time I purchased my rock was having problems with nasty looking water. It does take awhile to make a difference so be patient. The results are great!

This is a replacement tank for your current system. Installation should be very easy - remove old connections and re-connect to this tank. The instructions that came with your original RO System should work for this unut. Best regards.

I use it with my 50 gallon. Works great. Water is crystal clear, nitrates are always 0.

It does a fantastic job for that size. Ours is a 55gal and keeps it sparkling. The best we've ever had. Let me know if u have any questions about install or cleaning. We had to watch a YouTube video on reconnecting after cleaning for first time.

I use this in my salt water fish tank. I made a overflow box and a in tank refugium

It's fine, I use mine in a 55 Gal so you have plenty even if you decide to go to a bigger tank. Enjoy these are the best heaters.
