Ok i have been back and forth with the decision of using distilled water for top offs and water changes. the cost doesnt affect me. but what i am reading from other sites ect does.
they say since " Absolutely use filtered water: either R/O or de-ionized, (but NOT distilled) water for your top off water! Do not use distilled water since it may kill an entire reef. Because distilled water has lost all of its minerals and anything else it might have, the water molecules will bond with the fish/invertebrates that have these minerals that were lost by the water. "
is this true ? does anyone have any experience using distilled water? thinking of getting a ro/di system but later on that will come, any help ? TIA
looking to lower my No3 and Phosphates thx !
