I visited a Petco that sells saltwater fishes and they had algae everywhere on their tanks. Does Petco use RODI water for their saltwater displays? Or do they use tap water?

Not sure, but I know they use a lot of ich in the tanks.I visited a Petco that sells saltwater fishes and they had algae everywhere on their tanks. Does Petco use RODI water for their saltwater displays? Or do they use tap water?
I think the saltwater tanks at Petco should be a good example of not using RODI water.My petco here uses tapwater and I'd doubt if any of them would be different.
That is very interesting. I would like to think that your PetCo would have Lionfish since the GM has experienced a sting and they should be able to instruct new employees about the seriousness of handling these fishes properly.Just to add to my previous comment;
My petco isn't allowed to be sent lionfish at all.
Reason: the general manager got stung cause no one told them lionfish were venomous.
In other words don't expect competence, I've considered working for one but idk how dragged down I'd be from the corporate policies not letting me take some liberties in how I care for stuff.
+1… depends on ‘fish manager’… there are probably more than 10 Petcos less than 45 minutes from my home… maybe 3 are worth checking out, if I’m in the area.My local petco has a fish guy that knows his stuff. All tanks are immaculate, have never seen ich or any sick fish in the tanks, and they do use RO/DI, and sell both salt and RO/DI.
I have bought many very healthy fish at a great price from them.
Every petco is different. It all depends on the person taking care of the aquarium dept.

I wish I could have been there for that mishap. Is that wrong of me?
