Thanks, both of you.

And Watermom- I've been an aquarium hobbyist for 30+ years and Cardinal Tetras are my favorite fish. Figured that would be a sort of appropriate avatar for here, too lol

I don't like the idea of my CYA increasing at the rate it looks like it will if I go with the inline chlorinator.

So I guess this boils back down to whether or not I want to spring for a SWCG. I was all about the SWCG till I realized that the warranties have gone down so much and the cells have to be replaced so often... and that I'll probably need to hire an electrician to wire it. My dad's a retired contractor so he's helping me with plumbing in the new filter, but I'm not confident I want him doing electrical work this close to water (don't know if he'd volunteer to do it anyways...). I'm comfortable with a lot of DIY, but electrical work always just makes me nervous. Totally out of my own Scope lol

Got some thinking and number crunching to do.
