    Hey all,

    After 6 long years, time to again setup my 75 gallon saltwater aquarium. I broke it down 6 years ago when I moved, and have been looking for a place to display it in my small house. Finally solved the problem and got rid of some furniture. ;D

    Looking forward to participating in this forum.

    Quick question: Buy distilled water, or buy an ionizer? If an ionizer is the best way to go, where would you recommend purchasing one? TIA

    WELCOME TO 3REEF

    If you are doing a reef do not use distilled water as it is not very purified. GO with RO/DI

    Thanks all for recommending RO/DI. I think I'll go that direction.

    In the process of cycling tank. 20 lbs. LR, 40 lbs. LS, 30 lbs. live crushed coral.

    Pix will come soon. :)

    fresh alkaline ionized water daily to keep ourselves health

    Imagine the fish that live in this beautiful pool of water. They are happy and healthy, because they are living in a healthy pool of water that's constantly being cleaned and refreshed. Now think of the cells in your body. Your body is over 90% water. If you drink nice, filtered, fresh alkaline ionized water daily, it's like giving your cells the healthy advantage that the fish that live in this pool of water have.
