Sounds like you've planned well, good luck. Tell us more about your system, size etc and whether you plan on running a sump and so on. Also check some of the tank build threads. One of the members here, Myka, has some excellent links in her signature with information on starting a tank, cycling etc. Here's a link to her 90 gallon build thread, as mentioned, the info links will be at the bottom of any of her posts in her signature area.

I checked at the LFS and they charged 45cents a gallon of RO/DI water. So about 40 bucks for my 80 gallons. If the DI unit is only $40, I might as well invest in one. How much would a good one cost, what brand should I look for and how would I hook it up to my house's drinking water? Some more info would be great!
Is the DI part of the process just another filter? I was planning on buying a single canister and putting a DI filter in it after the water has passed through my RO filter. Is this how it is done? Last edited by BlueOnTwo; 10-22-2009 at 10:11 PM.

Definitely on the right track. A housing, DI cartridge, some tubing and a John Guest tee should do it. Try to get a refillable DI filter, it will be a little more cost effective than the throw aways since you'll be able to buy the DI beads in bulk.
