I did check their online report. No trace of copper or silicate (I always look for those two components in particular). But since luck isn't favoring me much recently, I was thinking of starting RODI water but don't want to purchase the unit and don't really know where I can get reliable RODI.

Consider all the money you spent on livestock. And equip. Another 200 bucks is money well spent. Once you purchase the unit filters are cheap and myself at most replace 2x a year and that's water with 120 ppm. Usually at spring when runoff and maybe fall with heavy rains

Its not about the money. Its about the waste water. Landlord have it written in the contract that "no water wastage is allowed". He complains about 10 gallon water change, think what he will do with 50gallon water expense per water change :P That's why I was thinking of commercial water.

Thank you so much for the offer but I would like to get a permanent source since I really don't want to keep on bugging someone for the weekly water changing water

Tap water in North Van yesterday was 11 TDS I only use RO. Still, making the water is probably the biggest PITA about owning a reef tank.

I used to live in Hawaii and used tap water... my tank basically was a diatom tank due to high Si in Hawaii's tap water.
