firstly, i dun have the money to spare

sencondly, can't be bothered...i dun even use anti-chlorine...think my corals and fishes are now chlorine-resistant...hahahah

[jellyfish]

same here.... to ex to be use..... i rather use biological way to remove nitrate/phosphate...

what about chlorine and chloramine?

[reefer guy]

....inactive phosphate? metals? there's much more to consider.... well think this over; u can buy corals and fishes everytime, and yet u dont want to invest on something to keep it alive..... rather keep buying and wasting livestocks?

[minsmarine]

Ah yea,

me drink direct from tap water.

So how to have RO for my tank, my wife will kill me

bro, controllable tunze is far more expensive than ro/di unit

for me, i think a RO/DI unit is a good to have, but not a must have. the condition of the water coming out of our P.U.B taps r oredi quite ok.

Our tapwater is generally low on nutrients but there are some area with outrageously high nitrates.

Shhhhh, I told my wife it's 40$.

U so loud my wife sleeping laz,

If she knew it's cost 4++; than I will need to settle more credit card bills

Thank you for sealing your lips Haa Haa JK

arrrr...... wat to do? supply of water from P.U.B is dependant on which area u live in, which waterworks supply to ur area.

btw, hv u been in contact wif huskiesg lately? havent heard from him for a long time now.

[patrick123]

The problem I have with the concept of RO/DI is the rejected waste water. From what I heard, the RO/DI usually produce about 50% good RO/DI water, and 50% waste, rejected water. What do I do with this waste water? I think most people just drain it away. Collecting the waste water in bucket is also not a good idea...how many buckets of water can you store before your wife start to make noise?

Either way, it seems like a real waste of natural resources....especially now that we are all drinking the recycled water. So let the marine tank have the RO/DI water, and we human drink the rejected water sounds really rediculous to me.

[terryansimon]

I think RO/DI water is a want, not a need.

I'm saying that because I can't afford it. but heck, if I could afford the cash/space for it, it'll become a need alright!

I think a few reefers here has high nitrate readings from their taps. I read somewhere that a few areas in Singapore has this high nutrient problem.

Havent heard from him for sometime too.

use it in planted tank.... plant need all the waste...

[boxfish]

me drink direct from tap water.

our tap water may be safe to drink direct but long term consumption is bad for health...

[Kelmen]

Should have another option:

Its highly recommended, although I'm not using it

[ervine]

firstly, i dun have the money to spare

me too... have lah but i need to control a bit... cannot anyhow spend if not will run out of money to eat

[Bandit]

What do I do with this waste water?

Our waste water goes into the washing machine.... it is perfect for washing clothes with!

[tineng]

i don't use RO but DI......IMHO DI should be enough as our water is one of the cleanest in the world so your DI shouldn't exhast that quickely.....

Hmm... i am curious as how you do that... storage tank?

[arcanehacker]

anyway food outside are also not very healthy.. why not eat cooked food at home every meal everyday?

no need to be too careful about what you eat or drink.. too much is gonna make your body's immune low..

[monpire]

Sorry moi but have to say...

It's not only the water...the styrofoam containers, dishwasher, air, even the preserved food in can all have their "toxic" side...no choice unless live in amazon jungle...

[HuaLuoHan]

wta about boiled water ? wats left inside ? anymore Phosphate or other stuff ?

[*-anQ-*]

I Drink Tap

Tank Done RO-DI
