Was getting extreamly high KH and CA. I was informed it was due to using tap water, which I heard was highly unrecommended. Although I did watch some videos of "experts" saying it's not ideal but ok I went ahead and said F it.
I bought instant ocean reef crystals and conditioned my tap with prime. Little did I know until after someone suggested I test my tap did I find out my local water comes out at 8dkh. Found out real quick when I added salt that it also adds an additional 8dkh. So I found out why my dkh was abnormally high.
So I decided to look for an RODI kit. I was on the fence about whether to just buy water from my local fish store or get the kit. I was eyeballing the BRS kit since everybody said it was good. After reviewing prices and realized I was just going to get water from my lfs until I found this bad boy (4 stage plus kit) on eBay for $114. I ordered new filter kit for 30 from BRS and now we'll see what happens.
Any DONTs I should think about once I get it. I plan on hooking it in my washer room since the spigots are located there.
Any suggestions are welcomed and thank you.
