My thought is the water quality is the one of the most important elements in keeping a reef tank. I would not skimp on a rodi unit when you can get a high quality unit for around $150.

RO acts as pretreatment for DI. If you cannot afford a RO/DI purchase distilled water, it is the next best thing to RO/DI with RO coming in third.
