OK, after much research, I have finally decided that RO/DI water is definitely the way to go for my new aquarium, both for the health of the fish, and since my local tap water can read as high as 20 ppm of nitrates!!! What is the point of doing water changes with that?
A few questions:
1) I do intend to buy myself a unit to use in my home in the next few months, but for now, will the reverse osmosis system at my local grocery store be sufficient?
2) Does reverse osmosis water need to be treated with the dechlorinator? I would imagine not, as the chlorine and heavy metals are already gone, but figured I'd double check!
