I just thought I would post this as a little warning for anyone that might be helped by it.
I have been keeping a reef tank for almost 2 years now. I started in Feb 2011 with a 16 gal bow front tank, and 6 months later upgraded to a 38 gallon tank.
I have been using RO/DI water from my local grocery store for the past year, and from my lfs before that. I just bought a TDS meter today, and tested the water I get from the store and it is not 0 ppm, as it should be, but 54 ppm.
I'm sure glad I ordered a 4 stage RO/DI system from BulkReefSupply that will be here Friday.
Just a heads up. Know what you are putting in your tank.
Happy reefing. :Cheers:
