Which RO/DI system should I get?

[Exotrezy]

I have a 30 gallon tank that I am setting up to become a Saltwater Aquarium. I have a good amount of knowledge in freshwater and now am getting into saltwater. I have found a couple RO/DI systems that I like and I am wondering on you guys' opinions.
LiquaGen- 5 Stage Reverse Osmosis & Deionization
Max Water 6 Stage Aquarium Reverse Osmosis System
BRS 4 STAGE RODI

I live in Houston, TX and the water here has chloramines in it so I need some help. I would have to get the 6 stage RODI system for chloramines right? Please let me know if you guys have any experience with these specific systems or what to do about my situation or if you guys could recommend other systems that I should check out.

I love my aqua fx barracuda the 100gpd one is 220 on amazon now may find it cheaper elsewhere though. Mine is almost 20 years old never had to replace anything other than filters and membranes.

Same I just recommended but the 100 gpd is only $20 more and 50 gpd more worth the extra money.

Do you guys know any cheaper ones? I need one that is around $150-$200 but I would like for it to be on the $150-$170 side as I only have a 30 gallon tank.

Maybe one that is under that amount would be great.

Saltwater is about keeping pristine water the most important aspect of our hobby and the one thing most people want to skimp on for some reason. You can find cheaper units but they end up using more filters costing more shortly after purchase. Quality materials save money quickly even with a small tank. You put the bra 4 stage which is the same cost as the 50gpd which is why I suggested the one I did. Air water and ice also have quality units as well.

I also have another question, I have an RODI under my kitchen sink that was installed for drinking water. Could I use that one? From what people have told me, it apparently adds minerals to the water to make it taste good to us which could harm the fish and coral. Is that true?
