This is who I got mine from: http://www.thefilterguys.biz">http://www.thefilterguys.biz</a>

At the time, I knew nothing about ro/di systems and they explained everything to me. They helped me choose the system that was best for my needs and even talked me through the installation. I would recommend them highly. I ended up with the ocean reef +1 system and I love it.

krb this one seems a better bang for the buck so far thanks.

I purchased the 22GPD Coralife RO sys and it produces 0tds (I have low tds water to begin with). They make a 50 GPD system too. You can't go wrong with the one chrisjet posted though, if it produces 0 tds, it does the job.

Some things you'll likely wish for in an RO/DI system:

standard-sized filter housings
brand name RO membrane
refillable, vertical DI
high quality DI resin
pressure gauge
thermometer
DI bypass valve
1 micron sediment filter
high capacity carbon block
aluminum bracket
clear housings
quick connect fittings

and last but not least...

good tech support.

This one is better suited for our reef needs & about the same price when you factor in shipping cost. you can request a 75gpd membrane instead of the 110 gpd. http://cgi.ebay.com/AQUARIUM-2-110GPD-RO-2DI-REVERSE-OSMOSIS-water-FILTER_W0QQitemZ120169054865QQihZ002QQcategoryZ20756QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem">http://cgi.ebay.com/AQUARIUM-2-110GPD-RO-2DI-REVERSE-OSMOSIS-water-FILTER_W0QQitemZ120169054865QQihZ002QQcategoryZ20756QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a>

If you get the first Ebay one remove thier last water taste stage for reef use.

I forgot to mention - you should look for a system with a vertical DI stage with bottom up flow.
