    Has anybody in the Seattle area used the water from the aquarium? I just signed up for it today, it looked clean.

    There was a guy that used it all the time that posted here years ago Omar I believe was his user name. Said it was great.

    Thanks! I got my water last night and was going to wait on a water change but my tank decided to dump like 20 gallons onto my floor. I learned about it at midnight and had to pump the new water in. Not quite the way I wanted to introduce this new water.
    Thanks for your answers.

    Noble,
    I know several people that have used Seattle Aq. water. It seems to be a love it or hate it situation. Consistency of water parameters is the main issue. They fluctuate during the year with storm water runoff. Keep an eye on your params. The general concensis is the water is fine for a FO tank but not a reef tank.
    JMHO....Best of luck,
    Scott
