Tap water calgary

Thank you Kien.

So the only reason to use RODI water is because of the total dissolved solvents and phosphate run off in the spring, if you get that. I was under the assumption that phosphate was a big problem with tap water but I also live in a new home with abs piping.

It's easy enough to test your tap water for phosphate. Then you'll know for sure if it'll be a problem or not :-)

Yes the other junk that is dissolved in tap water will end up in your tank. Whether or not that's actually a bad thing, I don't know :-). There are lots of people who use tap water for their reefs with success.

You're welcome

Our water is good to me, all I could ask for is a phosphate reactor.
