Joyce Wilkerson's book, Clownfishes is where I got the info. She writes, "In the anemone survey, only 39% of total repondents used tap water as make-up water, but a whopping 83% of the anemone kept alive for 24 months or more were in those tanks. Only 14% of teh anemone kept for more than 24 months were in tanks using highly purified water from reverse osmosis, despite those representing 61% of the tanks surveyed. In a nutshell: respondents using tap water for make-up water were 6 times more liikely to maintain anemomnes for more than 24 months than those using RO water" (pg 47). She then goes on to explain possible explanations for why this may be the case.
