It's only RO, but it puts out completely pure H20 at 0tds. You won't find a DI unit that gets you any less than ... 0 total dissolved solids.

But if you're completely anal, there's di add on canisters for like $40.

then a few days later, added the other rocks w/ all the life already on them:


then, a few weeks later, the tank was stable, so i added my 1st coral

The Petco's in LI (usually) sell the Real Ocean water. Some people I know just use that, but you're going to need a few cases-- you probably need like 7 to be safe. They're 5 gallons a box and not the easiest to lug around.

trites are probably peaked. Expect to see your trates at around 60 in a week or so.
