 Re: First-Time Salt Water Tank
RyanG has posted parameters in the guides forum.
RO/DI is reverse osmosis deionized water. If you insist on using tap, you might want to have the city test it. RO/DI takes out a lot of the nasty things found in water, like phosphates, nitrates and silicates, to name a few. My fish drink better than I. Possible problems by not using it can be green hair algae, diatoms (which happen anyway as a part of the cycling process) and cyanobacteria. You will probably notice these things within the first few months.
Just something to think about...
