Im new to saltwater and canreef, and I,ve been looking into a R/O unit as well and found this one Vertex Puratek 100 GPD RO/DI SYSTEM has alot of great reviews. You can find it at www.aquacave.com

Make sure you get a pressure storage tank if you're connecting faucets for drinking water. Aquasafe Canada systems are pretty standard, typically lowest price but does everything you would expect/want.

J&L Aquatics also sells this Vertex RO/DI unit, as well as the 200gpd unit
I have a Vertex RO setup and am happy with it. I like the clear canisters for cartridge monitoring

I've seen lots of good feedback about the Aquasafe stuff but have never owned one

I have a Tunze Osmolator 3155 ATO and am happy with it
It's hooked up to a tank I manually fill as RO & RO/DI systems aren't very efficient if they are plumbed direct to the DT and run in short bursts

Thanks for the advice. I had seen the Vertex one on the J&L website but I didn't see a pressure tank and faucet hookup. I guess I will have to call them and see if they can get that in for me. I am planning on buying the heaters, powerheads, wave controller, sand, salt, base rock, live rock, and filter socks from them.

If J&L can't help you, Bulk Reef Supply will have the rest of your drinking water parts
