justinl Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 bad. never use mineral water of any kind in a tank. even most tap water is better. Link to comment
geekreef_05 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 generally speaking mineral water is bad. there could be heavy metals or dissolved minerals that'll react badly in a marine environment. thats why we use total dissolved solids (tds) as an indicator of water purity. As long as that mineral water isnt carbonated like Perrier, you'll be ok as long as you dont do it anymore. Link to comment
DudE31 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 that sodium bicarbonate a.k.a baking soda will mess with ph and carbonate hardness big time... go r/o di or tap water Link to comment
