I know TDS is total dissolved solids and the recommendation is to only use 0 TDS water on your tank, but I don't really know what TDS is and if I need it to be 0 in my tank.
My tank is just zoanthids right now and I don't plan on keeping SPS. Zoanthids tend to like dirtier water (nitrates, phosphates), right? I've always tended to think I needed to keep the TDS at 0 to prevent build up of nitrates and phosphates. If that's true (is it?) would skipping my DI stage and putting 1-2 TDS water into my tank be a smart(er) move?
