Get reverse osmosis water, your lfs probably sells it for cheap. You just need to add minerals that are lacking for the type of fish you have.

I live in Boston so winter is always bad. I bought a small generator a few years ago and it works great. Lucky I've only needed it a couple times.

I have a high level of silicates and nitrates in my tap water. That's why I use RO water.

Looked online a bit it's overwhelming how many different one there are

With PWC and top offs I used about 30-35 gallons a week

Does anyone have a reverse osmosis system hooked up? Is it worth the money to have one or should I just keep going to my lfs for a 1$ a gallon for the to water?

Water changes and turn your lights off. You can put a towel or something over the tank so no natural light gets in
