Default Water types
Just a quick question about water. I recently began to slowly switch the water in my tank to a more pristine source.........Store bought Purified Water. Should I have bought Distilled water or is the Purified water ok? Incase it makes any difference the brand of water is Sparklets, but I doubt that plays any role.

IMO, RO/DI unit will be cheaper in the long run. But thats just my thoughts.I bought one on ebay for 145 including shipping. I filters a 100 per day . Not everyone will agree with me. Bout its worthchecking into

Ideally you want to use RO/DI water. If that is not avaliable, distilled is the next best bet. Take a look at www.airwaterice.com Products and answers for your water treatment needs.. A number of us have their MightyMite - nice little unit which sells for $99 + S/H.
