I guess obviously rodi is best, but I am wondering if ro water is acceptable? Lfs 30 min away sells rodi for $1/g; grocery store 5 min away sells ro water .39¢/g.
Maybe the LFS is selling the premixed saltwater that uses RODI for 90 cents? If it is just water, that is ridiculous.

I think that anything outside of tap water is good. RODI is ideal. I've had my new tank up for a few months now and have been getting water from the Glacier dispenser outside a local store. I believe it is carbon filtered, RO, UV and the carbon again. They have a screen that shows when it was serviced last, so I try to get my water close to that date. I've had minimal problems with algae so far. A little on the side that catches a little sunlight at times, but its not a problem. For $1.25 for 5 gallons, can't go wrong.
