The dual Ro membrane was what I was thinking too but not sure if I need dual di .im thinking the membranes should drop it enough before it gets to di.
Could you get a hold of Culligan and get them to email you the full results? Since it's a well, there could be a number of parameters that will trouble you - CO2 is a PITA and will burn through your DI like nobody's business.

Another thing to think of is that since you have drinking water going through the same system, you're going to get TDS creep way worse than if it was just for aquarium water. TDS creep compounds the more often the RO turns on and off. With drinking water on the system, this could be happening numerous times a day. If it was me, I'd be buying spring water to drink (they deliver, I buy a month at a time) and use the RO/DI system solely for the aquarium simply because you're dealing with such high TDS. Maybe BRS has a good win/win solution. I emailed them, hopefully they will reply today.
