hello everyone, i am stuck in a bad situation in regards to my water. my well is having pressure/sediment issues and there is about 2 feet of snow around the well, so there is no way i can work on. no well water=no ro water. my only LFS is petco, and they don't sell ro water... so i have no idea what to do. I haven't done a water change in almost 2 weeks, and i need to do one soon... any suggestions? thank you
 
At the very least you could dose your elements. And not do any change. What have you been using to do top offs?
I rarely have to do top offs... had an ammonia spike in my nano reef/seahorse tank. had to put the seahorses in a breeder basket in my 55. gonna buy distilled water in the morning
 
I buy RO water from Walmart. Thad what I top off with and do my water changes. It's like 80 cents a gallon
cool, i was getting really nervous LoL. i heard that works but never talked to someone that has done it, thank you
