Would 10 ppm TDS be acceptable to start a reef tank...
I had a marine (fish only) for many years before I moved to my current location and used water from the tap if you can believe it... and yes there were times I had many problems with algae etc.....but it was fish only, and nothing fancy, but now I would like to up the anty a little with proper lighting and chemistry to house at least some soft corals, shrooms, zooanthids, various other inverts and get some calcareous algae going............... and so, I want to start with the proper water, the distilled water I have access to has at the most, 10ppm TDS..
