Hello... My tank (90 gallon, is still far away from my home), planned delivery 26th of December, but I don`t want to make mistakes I have done with my current nano tank, so I do a lot more research and planning now....
I read articles about rain water and of course, people are arguing and arguing ...
I could imagine, that rain water collected in New York, is pretty bad , to say the least... But How about here, In Europe, where we do not have acid rains ? I live in Amsterdam, and yes, it rains every day :) ... I could collect the rain straight from sky without letting the rain touch roof or pipelines, because I have balcony with open sky view...
Currently I am using tap water (without RO filter system), well I have been using it for more than a year ... I don`t know why... But I have.... The water is chemical free, because it is this city law and we pay extra money to get it extra filtrated etc...But still, probably it would be best if I used RO, so for my 90 gallon, of course I will have RO system... but till the 26th of December... Could I use rain water?
OK, what are Your thoughts (what do you think?- didn`t know how to spell that correctly) about using rain water for marine aquariums, if it does not get in contact with other elements and is not filtrated? in other words -straight from sky in to aquarium :)
Ok,damn, that was a long description...
Ok, tnx for your opinions :)
