RO/DI removes everything from water - repeat: EVERYTHING.

Thanks (one less thing to buy more of) I have never read anything about using it in reef tanks but it just dawned on me I hadn't been adding it and old habits are hard to lose!

when you have a RO/DI unit the DI will remove the remaining Total disolved solids that are after the membrane. This will result in 0 TDS. These units make the purest water available.

If the RO unit is being properly maintenanced, then the the water coming from it will be fine. I don't have my own unit yet, so I buy top off water from those machines in the grocery store. That water I add prime to, because who knows how good those machines are taken care of. Considering how cheap a dose of prime is, why risk it?

That's not quite true, but accurate enough for the question in question.
