    For a reef tank I would go more with this
    No idea what filters they use with the costco brand
    your going to need a DI chamber

    I get all my RO/DI stuff from the link

    add on a TDS meter so you know when to replace the DI and replace filters around 6-8 months

    I have heard nothing but good from air water and ice RODI units and have just ordered one my self. Check them out as well.

    A good RO/DI is some of the best cash you'll ever spend in the hobby.

    Thanks for all the input and great information. So, how important is adding a DI to my RO system? Or is just a Reverse Os. good enough for a reef tank.

    RO by itself will get your TDS to around 10-20 depending. The DI will bring it down to 0
