You can buy a RODI or DI unit to make your own water or you could just contact LFS to provide natural sea water.

Don't use tap water as it contains silicate which will give you problem with algae.

Go Jurong Point, Buy Life Distilled Water 1.5L x 12 (1 Carton) So easy. Loosepacks, 2x1.5L = 95c... TDS of Life Distilled water is 0.04ppm. If u can find "Splash" Distilled water, its @ 0.02ppm..
