I have done both. I keep freshwater tanks as well. But I haven't solely done tap and no rodi. Matter of fact that seems like a good little project. Maybe I will start doing 30g frag with conditioned tap vs domain 55 gal at rodi.Hi All,
how many of you are not using RODI?
I have kept freshwater fish for few year and only use tap water with primer and heater to match the water temp as display tank. Never had any problem.
New to saltwater fish keeping world, many seem to emphasize the need of using RODI.
I just tested my tap water. Nitrates ppm was 1.8
For those who are you not using RODI, have you ever run in uncontrollable water parameter issue like algae boom?
please share your thought!!
Happy new year to All
You can find lots of reefers on YouTube who have used conditioned tap for a long time and have beautiful corals. So really its up to you whether you want to chance it.
