I spend about $1.05 per gallon when I buy distilled water and that's before you factor in the cost of salt. I wouldn't call this expensive!

Reefdaddy · Geek Squad Jedi

Yeah not pricey but none the less its worked out great to get it started.

Ok, Update Skimmer situation solved, Am in the process of making the charcoal filter, ILl post a how to here, Everyting is smooth so far no leaks and steady flow, the Vortech is awsome, but Iam adding another pump to increase flow in the tank. My Buddy here is giving a bag of Cheato for the Fuge so ILl be adding that. Tank is continueing to clear so all is well so far.

Not at all Chris I have a check valve on the reurn pump so only 1/2 inch of water will dump into the fuge, So it is safe.
