    Hi All I have a quick question. Is Fluoride bad for a salt water tank? I as as someone I work with her husband owns a franchise of one of those water purification companies that do the bottled water. They do use RO to purify the water.

    But what he was saying is he can remove almost anything but he does have to put the fluoride back in I think he said it was either company policy or law here, though I'm not sure if it's a municipal, provincial or federal law.

    He will sell me the water at 10 cents on the imperial gallon, is this a good price and is it ok to have fluoride in it (I didn't think to ask the concentration but I'd assume its at or slightly below what is required by municipalities in federal/provincial law)?

    I also live in London, and being that I use aged tap water and don't have a problem with the added fluoride, I can't see that you would.
