    Check with 2FarNorth (Jim) a reefer U.P. here just tore down his setup and may have a unit to sell. Post your lights in our selling thread too! Maybe you could trade your lights for a RO/DI unit.

    Also if I could point you to one of our sponsors, @AquaFX (http://www.aquafx.net/) who also make very nice RO/DI filters.
    No I did mean distilled water. Reefer has no means to get R/O DI and has been useing straight tap. Recommended distilled tell R/O unit can be purchased.

    @Rpalt1 be careful buying used RO/DI units typically you'll need replacement filters to get them running properly.
