Tap water?

[Proteus]

Yeah tap is fine. Like paddyob I used tap for the first year but switched over to RODI after run off caused TDS to spike

I use tap with prime and I grow macro algae in the sump, works great no problems

I have a large bin that I put my tap water in with a power head and heater, then use a cap full of prime and let it sit for about a day before I go to use it for top ups etc.

Tap water....always have...10+ yes no problems as long as a phosphate media is used like gfo

Hey guys this is great news! Ok so if I get something like this

and used that prime stuff and with my macro in my refugeium I should be fine? Last question and don't laugh, If I use seachem prime and make bulk water would that be ok to use in our Keurig coffee maker? If that works this will be an easy sell for my wife lol

I know I was only agreeing that tap water is fine. I just made the switch due to yellow water with high TDS in spring
