Im a little pissed off.
I ordered a new DI cartrage from that pet place.com.
and a new carbon block and sediment filter.
The package came yesterday, but no DI inside.
SO its backordered and what makes me angry is that they didnt tell me it was backordered before I ordered it!!

I think you'll be ok with a regular, just go slow.
