Whats a good system to buy. not looking to spend tons of cash but i want a decent one with good filters.

unless your going all out and want something with De-Ionisation (DI) and all stainless steel,they are all pretty much the same,the RI membranes are only made by a few manufactures regardless of what the sticker on it says,and only 3 or 4 of them are the most common,the GPD rating is what it should produce theoretically but temp,pressure and TDS on the input water will make differences,in highgate my TDS from the well is 400+,with the unit i use(and the ones im selling currently) bring that down to about 3,the DI will remove or polish out whats left,i dont use one myself(or feel the need) but they can be added very easily,your in chatham,go talk with elite water by walmart,not the boob close to the critter shack,the ones you buy for home drinking use will serve a dual purpose for you,larger storage tanks are cheap at TSC.

Seriously safe yourself time and trouble..... http://www.aquasafecanada.com/aquarium.html

No one can touch the quality and simplicity of these systems as far as I'm concerned and they are a Canadian company.

thanks for the reply puplfiction, ill consider the one u have ,

also has any one seen the unit on meleves reef ? its not bad, dont know about construction quality though

i've got one of melves.  nice quality, though it didn't come with a tds meter.  i also added a permete pump.  his di has the big cannister which i like.  i would look into the newer 0 waste units that are coming out though.  bwi had one but i never heard how it works.

I have this unit.  It works great, has a built in booster pump to ensure good pressure, the controller gives a constant readout of the TDS so you see it as soon as you walk in the room, and the controller will do an auto flush before/after to keep the membrane better.
