Grape Nuts Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Boss said I could have all of the RO water that I wanted. I mentioned for SW tank and he said "yah it has salt in it". I assume that is part of the filtration process and the water would work fine for my needs. Just wanted to run it past the board before I commit genocide on my tanks... Thank, Ron Link to comment

Thank, Ron IMO RO is not pure enough for a reef... you want RO/DI water Link to comment
Grape Nuts Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 IMO RO is not pure enough for a reef... you want RO/DI water And I guess that setup is not DI? Link to comment
paneubert Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I only see two canisters on there. That means there is limited stuff going on.....I do not see how two canisters could ever equal both RO and DI. Sorry Plus that "it has salt in it" makes me wonder....... Link to comment
Grape Nuts Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 Well at least I was stoked for about 20-30 minutes on the idea... LFS it is! Link to comment
paneubert Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 You could always test it for TDS and see what the numbers say. Still do not think it will be DI, but if it is low TDS then it is going to be better than a lot of the alternatives. Most LFS stores do not do DI anyway.....they sell RO water. At least around here..... Link to comment
disaster999 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 just a thought, if its indeed RO water and TDS is pretty low. buy yourself a DI filter ONLY, and run the RO water through it with a small pump. much cheaper than buying an RO/DI unit and still get the same RO/DI-ed water Link to comment
LPS-Crazy Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 you have to be of the same species to commit genocude i think Link to comment
