The DI will removed all minerals etc from the water. Your body needs the minerals. Most of the time they tell you to not have the DI if you have a really poor diet and don't replace the minerals you'd lose from the water. I may be wrong on this but its my understanding.
You want a DI unit for your reef because you want 100% pure water. No extra junk to mess up the state of your tank. Your salt mix will re-introduce all the needed minerals into the water.
I use the RO/DI from the ebay seller, Aquasafe. I love the unit. no problems whatsoever. IMHO
