Bob- I was wondering, is the naturally high level of Calcium Carbonate in the tap water the only reason you choose not to use an RO unit? Do you find that you don't have to dose calcium heavily on a regular basis?

I have very few stony corals, and I like Coraline Algae, which is something I don't see much of in the RO tanks. The worry about other algaes appears to be unfounded.
The question as always is this; I have loads of Coraline, I have no algae problems, everything I choose to keep in my aquaria does extremely well, so why would I monkey with success :?: :?:

As far as I am concerned the RO/DI proponents can do their thing, but if someone asks if it is necessary to use RO, I say NO. After that the person asking is on their own to do what they wish to do. I just never question success.

And as a last bit of advice. You will find a few people on this board to be completely anal about their RO/DI water. These people do not accept the possibilty they may correct for their own situation, but not necessarily correct for all situations. My advice is that you should not be swayed by the vocal few. Look at all the evidence, and make your own decision.
