the brand is generally irrelevant, as they all function the same (assuming good filters) A 4-stage should be sufficient (don't go anything less) so thats prefilter, carbon filter, RO membrane, then DI resin. How often you replace the filters really depends on your tap water - so, ensure its comes with a TDS meter so you can measure dissolved solids before and after. for a 180 gallon you'll be getting a fair bit of evaporation each day (at a guess around 5-15 litres daily - depending on your lighting setup and ambient room temperature) so make sure the one you get a unit that can produce enough water daily. personally i've got a 200 litre drum that i fill up with RODI water once every 6-8 weeks and top up with kalkwasser then dose that at night.
