I use the MIS refillable carts.  They have two chambers: one chamber 
without sponge and one with for my R1800.  As with most gravity 
refillable systems, you will also need some syringes, needles, a 
chip resetter, bulk inks -- the same bulk inks you would buy to feed 
a CIS system, and bottom fill adapters to suck/purge the air from 
the cart outlet ports the first time you fill the cart.  I 
personally like to use one syringe/needle combo for each ink to keep 
cleaning time down to a minimum during the refilling operation.  
They are all reasonably priced and worth the time saving.

The first time fill can be a little messy and time consumming, but 
once you've mastered the technique, it is easy and quick.  

Note:  The MIS chip resetter does not fit exactly the R1800 
carts...so you have to manually align the cart on the resetter.  MIS 
has told me that they do not intend to manufacture another plastic 
guide for the 1800. Just so you know.

Remember all this is my experience and opinion -- YMMV.
