Glacial Spring water?

[Blueangel44]

Does anyone use Glacial Spring water for there marine tanks? If so do you need to use conditioner on it or not. I am talking about the water you can get from the water dispenser machines at Publix that is like 25 cents a gallon. Thanks!

I tested that RO water from ours and it was 24 TDS.. same machine across the street.. 6 TDS.. inconsistent.. drinking water regulations aren't as strict as reefing requirements.

I wouldn't. But if you have a TDS meter and can test it at 0 TDS then go ahead.

What about distilled water?

[MikeTR]

Perfectly fine.. but gets expensive and not always available in emergencies..

$99 for the Air Water and Ice Mighty Might. best investment for my reef alongside my RKL

What about distilled water?

 

I used it for almost a year.

Have you been doing searches? This is the third thread you asked about water, and almost all the answers have been consistent (i.e. use filtered water like RO/DI or distilled).

 

In the case of "glacial spring water" it depends on whether the water is filtered or not. True spring/mineral water isn't a good choice since there are lot of dissolved things, similar to hard water.
