its not about the RO water as RO is drinkable its pretty well the DI as people don't deionize there water in any stores that sell drinking water its only RO with a UV sterilizer or at least thats what safeways water is anyway

RO is good for fish too?

yes it is i used ro water from safway for a long time while running my old bow front but i still had nurtrient problems (idk if it was because it wasnot deionized) so i felt it was neccesarry to buy a ro/di unit but for more then any other reason it saved me money buying water

T off of it before the DI cartridge.... (usually 1/4" compression fittings from Home Depot)

Edit: You'll probably need to invest in some additional hardware though to make it all work smoothly...
