I live in a hardwater area and having kept piranah in the past i have always used RO water treated with the relevant minerals from the lfs...treated for soft water i think.
However now I have a community with the following...2 angels, 4 ghost cats, 1 small BGK, 9 young rainbows, 1 gold nugget plec, 1 small peacock eel, 1 tiny albino bristlenose, 1 ram.
After having a problem recently with a slight nitrite peak due to over feeding I realised I was unable to do an emergancy water change as i had no RO water and couldnt get to the lfs for a few days.
would it be best to go back to tap water or is RO really that much better. the PH of the RO is around 7, my local tap water is definately around 8.
thanks
