ro/di water

Hello TRT, I am new and just getting my 90 gallon up and going. One question I had about water. I will be using ro/di water. I do not have a ro system. My lfs sells the ready made saltwater and also ro water. I do not have a preference on either at this point since I am new. My big...

so i recently bought a RO/DI unit for my own tank because i will be upgrading soon and i want a clean and consistent water source. for my new tank i need to save $1200 and im trying to think of a way to save extra money and being 17 and on a sports team i have no realistic way to start to...

hey all, i have a 55 gal tank that i was planning on starting a reef in and i know your not supposed to use tap water which contains lots of phosphate, but if you did would you be able to buy some GFO and use that to "purge" the tank of phosphate then switch to RO/DI water during changes?

I am new to the hobby and i am in the process of setting up a 90g reef tank. I have been told that the use of tap water in conjunction with a dechlorinator/purifier is ok for the initial setup but after that i should use ro/di water for water changes. From reading numerous books and arcticles i...
