Is that the one for 139?
I found a bunch of articles regarding the one I'm looking at on ebay. They say not to buy it, but it's cheap and it's no good. Then again, there are just as many people saying to get it and they have had it for years. Also, the original one I looked at from thatpetplace.com is that a RO/DI unit? It doesn't say it in the name, but says it deionizes in the description. I'm assuming it's the same?

After more research I really like this one:
RO/DI Systems
It's the OCEAN WAVE FIVE STAGE 75 GPD RO/DI for 130 or the OCEAN WAVE+ FIVE STAGE 75 GPD RO/DI for 150. What do you guys think? How long do the filters and DI resin last? Should I get the CHLORAMINE FILTER UPGRADE?

RO systems are RO systems. Ones made specifically for the reef user is really just a selling tactic. Look at what you get for the $. That's what is important.
I didn't check the link but 75gpd with a DI included for 130 isn't bad.
DIs on RO systems last for a good wile. Can't you recharge the resin in most DI systems?

I ended up getting a ocean reef + 1. I liked this one because it came with all the addons I would have got seperaly anyway. I did at a RO bypass so I can use it for drinking water too. Here are the specs:
All systems are made to order with clear 10" canister housings
Stage One NSF rated 1 micron poly sediment filter
Stage Two 5 Micron Matrikx NSF rated CTO/2 Workhorse carbon block
Stage Three 0.6 Micron Matrikx NSF rated chlorine guzzler carbon block
RO membrane 75 GPD Dow Filmtec
Stage Five refillable cartridge with color-changing DI resin
100 PSI pressure gauge
Auto shut-off
Membrane flush valve
Dual TDS meter
Quick connect fittings
Your choice of connection options to a water supply
Filter wrench to make cartridge replacement easy
