So while I was gone my return started making noises (filter needed to be changed).... my wife trying to be helpful put spring water in my tank instead of my rodi water. I have never dealt with this as I have never done this before obviously. What should I do now? fYI - I am cycling right now so no livestock thank goodness, but should I do water changes, just wait and watch?

Thank You for your help!

Harmless. My reef is fifteen if I had no other source I’d use spring water, if that ran out dechlor tap last place and it wouldn’t hurt anything it will cause you to need to clean the tank more. Harmless.

i routinely use ozarka water anyway for top off when distilled is out.
