Using rodi?

 

[Goonofthelagoon]

Rodi and distilled water whenever I can’t get to my LFS. I don’t have a rodi unit yet

Depending on your water source that could be a root cause. The water from the tap and even the stuff at the grocery store can be full of God knows what. Even fish stores have been know to just use tap water when making their salt mixes

 

[Goonofthelagoon]

Oh, well I get distilled water in bottles from the grocery store

 

[Goonofthelagoon]

1 gallon bottles

[Jekyl]

Stuff at the grocery is usually RO or DI not both

 

[Jekyl]

Better than tap water for sure. My tap at my house used my entire resin filter just for the water to fill my tank for the first time.

Welcome!

 

[Goonofthelagoon]

Wow, well I’ll just try to get a ton of rodi water from my LFS

Better getting your own. Will save money in the long run. I used this one

I’ll try to get one when I get the money. On a tight budget right now

So I have an extra tank and a bunch of extra things laying around in my closet to create another tank. I want it to be a hitchhiker/invert tank. I was just wondering something that I need some opinions on. I’m going to myrtle beach in a few weeks, and I was wondering if I caught some hermit crabs, or crabs, or snails, or clams and put them in a mature tank, would that be ok? I don’t know if this is allowed or not, so just tell me what you guys think.
