Hey guys, so I know how important good (perfect) water is for reef tanks, but I want to know if based on my circumstances if it makes sense to get an RO/DI system. I do have a chemical water purifier that eliminates chlorine, chloramine, and harmful metals, and I have been using this for about 5 months. I have a ricordea, and it's fine. I have good test kits, and three are my parameters:
Temp 79
SG: 1.025
Nitrate: 3
Phos: .3
pH: 8.2
Alk: 17
So everything is good except the Alk, would this be because of the water?
So should I stick to the chemical stuff and find a solution to my Alk problem, or should I switch to RO/DI?
Thanks
