I am after a Hma filter for in the garage where most of my tanks are. I want HMA as opposed to RO as firstly I am on a water meter and also I don't have any drainage.

I spoke to Bob (Macvsog23) this morning when I picked up my new filter (Eheim 2128) and he said the Hma route would be better than tap water.

I have just plumbed in a water butt to store the water, but am confused as to which unit to get. Do I get a 2 or 3 stage unit? My water board use chloramine so I need one to deal with that.

I have seen these 2 units which are both 3 stage, I just tought I would ask for your opinions.
