Why isn't Terrier Dog Water on there? (nobody will get this reference, but oh well. It made me chuckle : )

I use ro water from my bare bones tfc unit any one else use it?

i use ro

Where is the distilled?

How about boiled hot dog water?

yummy, oilly water!

dehydrated tap water

LOL---- dehydrated tap water.

I use RO/DI with filtered tap water.

Oceanic with Striaght RO. RO/DI is a waste IMO.

I got a great deal on mine----other than that it would have been just RO.

Sparkling water? Perrier anyone?

Over a year old, maybe?

I use tap cause i want alge to grow in my tank(since im having my tank a planted/algae tank).

Bourbon and water. SH

I use the wet stuff....
OK, seriously.
Six stage purification process, including TWO SOLID carbon blocks,
the latest technology in RO AND injected OZONE...
works for me. www.purewaterscience.com
I sell these machines so my water is free

i use water i find in the crick in my backyard, its clear when half of it dries up, and it becomes stagnant, you can see the mosquito larvae swimming around amongst the muck, and drainoff car coolent stuff, i swear it glows sometimes, but hey its free

comunity hot tub water?

my frineds dad does RO/DI $2 5 gallons no deposit cuz i know him only pain is its 15 minutes out of the way but i visit him enuf

distilled from walmart, $0.64/gallon, not recommended unless your tank is tiny like mine, ro/di unit in home would be best for anything 10G or larger.

I too was buying the wally world distilled jugs for $.64 / gallon - Then I found out my local grocery had an RO machine to fill your own for $.50 / gallon - That's what I'm using now - Eventually I'll break down and buy a RO/DI unit

RO/DI

Distilled in the gallon jug

I use to buy the RO and DI water from walmart. But now I mix 3 gallons of tap water along with 10ML of API stress coat. IO salt is then mixed into the water and checked by refactometer. I belive the reason that my 10gal. display tank has remained algae free. Is because of the 2.5 gallon fuge I have draining into it. I also keep the fuge lighted 24hours a day with 18watt's of 6700k. I thought about making my own DI water by using the boiling method. But that would take me to long to do on a electric stove.


Update: I reduced my fuge lighting to 11hrs a night when my dispaly tank lights are off. Because now I have more chateo than I know what to do with. I'm also using less stress coat about 5ml for every 2gals of SW mixed. The larger 10ml doses of stress coat worked great for helping my new fish and inverts get adjusted to the tank.

I buy it buy the gallon from the LFS - it's worth $1/gallon to me to not have to deal with making my own.

I use Glacier Water I get from work (Publix Supermarkets). Mix it with Reef Crystals by IO.

I use 50 percent tap and 50 percent RO, I know tap is a general no no but I like the free minerals hehe... Havnt had too many problems using the tap but I may change in the future...

I usually just get the premixed RO water from my LFS for $.95, and then fresh RO water from them ($.45) for my top off. I use Instant Ocean when I need to mix my own if I need to adjust salinity up or down.

I use distilled from Walmart. It is $0.36 a gallon jug here. I have used it for over a year now, why does everybody say you can't or shouldn't use it in large aquariums? I want to know that for future projects.

Because it's a lot of jugs to buy and carry - I filled my 40 with distilled, and I still use it for top off, but I'm filling my 135 with an RO/DI unit - it's less work for me, and cheaper in the long run.

RO/DI but getting it every week is getting anoying.

I use RO/DI water (took too much time to fill my nano reef w/bottled water)

my own RO/DI

sorry for the picture

ice cubes anyone?

i use 6 stage ro/di with coconut filter and uv sterilizer.

They’re cheap on eBay and super easy to install.

I make my own, it's not worth the hassle for me to get it from the LFS.

what about Bong water???

RO

i've been using Glacier water for a year+ now, but I have a brand new Typhoon III from airwaterice sitting in my basement waiting to be installed.

typhoon iii

is there a problem using bottled water (like arrowhead) or does it carry the same problem as using tap?

Purchase premixed saltwater and RO from LFS. But currently reviewing RO equipment to do at home mixing.

I use bottled water from Culligan. I haven't had too many problems with it.

strait from the tap

Water from the Water Store, right around the corner, at $0.25/gallon. Tested TDS level of 0 to 1 with a Hanna meter.

Rain Water I collect off the roof.






Na, RO water I steal from the water cooler in my office

ro/di from the lfs .50

premixed saltwater .75


just gives me an excuse to go to the LFS and spend more money!
