RO/DI filter cartridges?

ok so i have a 5 stage ro/di water filter from water general mfg. and figured that this is fine cause it filters out pretty much everything......but i was talking with my buddy and he was saying that there are special "fish tank" filter cartridges that you can get...i was looking around but couldn't really find anything specific for fish tanks. so my question is
are there special "fish tank" replacement cartridges?

The only "special" cartridge would be one to remove chloramines if you have them.

TDS is one of your primary concerns with RO/DI.
