R/O & Nano's in Calgary

[OCDP]

Hey, thanks for the speedy replies guys and sorry for the silly hijack.

It's so great to be able to communicate with Calgarian reefers!!!

So.. if some of you are not using RO/DI water... you must be conditioning your tap water. With what? I just started using Prime.

May I ask another question? Is the reason that I'm seeing so much nuisane algae is becuase my tank is still fairly new?? (august 31st) .. and I noticed more algae grow when I upgraded my lighting .. I went from a single powerglo bulb (18w) to the fixture by Coralife that I mentioned.

At the moment I have (20g tank) 2 clowns, purple firefish and a yellow watchman goby. That's all I plan on keeping in there for fish. I have no cleanup crew... (I don't like them hehe) I used to have a Hammer Coral (stupid newbie buy) that died and a pearl bubble (again, stupid) and some zoo's. I am now left with only the zoo's but they are doing great.

So I guess I have made some typical newbie mistakes ... but I definitely am learning from mistakes... and I know patience is everything. I wasn't going to add anything until I get an RO/DI unit... but now I'm getting more mixed opinions. I find myself very confused now lol... more input would be great.
