What's the best place for RO/DI replacement filt./mem.?
The nice gentleman I just bought a righteous 90 gal. acrylic setup from decided to throw in his Kent RO/DI. Being new to the hobby, I'm not yet 100% Reef savvy - please advise. What website has the best prices on filters and membranes? Can I just go buy them from Lowe's? Thanks for all the advice...

I suggest ebay. Just buy a FilmTec one and you're good.

Lowes won't have the best membranes.
For membranes, DI resin and prefilters, I recommend bulkreefsupply.com. Recommended set up is 1 mircron sediment, .6 micron Matrix +1 Chlorine Guzzler carbon block, Dow Filmtec 75 GPD membrane and matching flow restrictor, and bulk DI resin w/ refillable container. Also worthwile to add a TDS meter. Hanna TDS3 runs less than $20. If you need just the sediment & carbon block then Reefgeek.com is a good place also.
