Question Survey--what kind of water do you use?
Hey everybody! I was wondering how many of you use RO/DI or RO water and how many of you use tap water for your water changes?

Tap water in my area of west Nashville tests neg for phosphates. I am going to try it. (I have been buying water at the Critter for years, but that's getting old.)

RO/DI here also, but used tap/prime for years on a FOWLR and a reef tank.

Pickupman66 sounds like hes having the same issues I had. I did tap/prime for years and switched over to 0TDS a couple years or so ago. Ill never go back. I had rock that was in a tap system for a long time that was still giving me algae issues after 7 months of "cooking" and 4 months of being in the cleanest tank Ive had yet. Ill see after this additional 2 months of "cooking" (I was forced to do) if Im replacing them, but tap isnt worth it in a full blown reef IMO....not one Im trying to create anyway
