Ro DI system

[Bigbrother]

Just installed a RO system last nite becuz I was using tap water for my reef tank an my water suckes so I decided to buy a unit an foiled up a 50g container will mix salt on there aswell an install a drop heater an adjust the ph to match my tank hopefully it will make a difference in my water chemistry

It should make a big difference. What about you water now that is not good? Are you having algea issues?

Thanx another thing since I was using tap water I was using prime conditioner now since I will be using the RO unit does that mean I don't need the prime conditioner any more ???

It may take a few weeks to see a change. I started with tap water and it drove my parameters crazy as far as phosphates but after about 3 month of using ro.di water the levels dropped and all went alot better.

Good luck!
