![]() I've always used ro water at the least but the one time I used tap they were fixing plumbing around my neighbourhood and I didn't know, so it crashed my tank and I lost slot of very nice corals. Not worth chancing in my opinion. However In the past 3 weeks my tapwater is testing at 3ppm so it's pretty damn clean.

![]() I'm assuming this is in relation to reef tanks? I use tap water in most fish only systems and it works just fine. I've used RO/DI for the last 15 years or so.

![]() My TDS runs about 8 to 10 so, I use it for my top off only.
For my 55 gal salt mix, I add Prime or Amquel to get rid of the chloramine. BRS did a study and it found that almost all brands of carbon did pretty much nothing to take out the chloramine, which can be deadly to the livestock. |
