Its been up for about 2 months today. .. anyone know whats causing the algea ? I was thinking about getting some more crabs. Would that help.
yeah my grocey store sells ro water for a around 30 cents a gallon if i bring my own jug. (they even let me bring my five gallon buckets now, and then just scan the jug 5 times )
the machine is labeled as "crystal creek, purified drinking water"
the sticker on the machine reads "reverse osmosis purified water, etc.. explains that the machine uses a 5 micron filter, then a carbon filter, then another filter, then another 5 micron filter, then a deionozation unit" but it's much more detailed than that on the sticker. so really it's rodi water..
they also have it prepackaged in the softdrink isle in gallon and 3 gallon jugs. labeled simply drinking water, but the small print states reverse osmosis purified water.
