    my lfs has closed its doors while opening a new store (i helped them with there drywall (not near as cool as fixing a cymbal or messin with the green thingy)). my rodi is being serviced by them so i get free rodi water till its done. now my tank levels are very low. low enough that i had to shut off one of my return pumps. i dont trust the water from the other pet store here where i live. whats my options as i know i will have to add the water in the next couple hours. please note that this is evaporation and not a water change so no mixing of salt will be needed.

    Go to the supermarket and buy distilled or filtered water. Luna

    ive heard (mabey incorrect) that some companies use copper heating elements leaving traces of copper in the water and they have a minimum of 250 TDS reading

    In that case, find yourself RO/DI water. Luna

    Wal-mart drinking water with the green lid...this is processed by reverse osmosis (RO) and has no nitrate or phosphates. Not sure about the copper as stated above but I have been using this water for about two years! Works great for me..
