Transitioning from tap to ro/di

[Gmj4409]

First - noobie to your forum but about 16 years in the hobby (always tap!). Great forum with some unbelievably giving, helpful people - Thank you for all I've already learned here.

So I expect system delivery tomorrow and was wondering if all I need to do is start doing my water changes with the new pure water? Anything else to worry about? Tanks been up for 4 years so I imagine it will take some time. Parameters all pretty much in line.

Thanks

Yup. Freaks me out to mix my own salt water after mostly using natural seawater.

You use sea water? Like collected from the ocean? Or that nutrisea water you can buy?

I live in San Diego. We can get free water at the Scripps research facility. It's only run through a giant sand filter.
