Your post is kind of confusing. The way it reads is you gave all your water away in your tank because the water is unsafe and now your corals don't have any water???

What exactly do you need? I'm tearing down my tank this week and I can give you established water 100+ gallons. You can get RO/DI water from B&B aqautics along with premixed saltwater for water changes. Just bring in your jugs.

Rob, he was helping out Gseclipes (jt) with the "GF Bleach incident". The unsafe water may containing some bleach in it. I was going to give him my used 50g. but b/c of redbugs.

I know it's a stretch but if you are in a bind, you could use tap water with a product such as AmQuel+. This product can be found at most pet stores!

AmQuel+ can be found here-> http://www.novalek.com/kordon/amquel+/index.htm

I know it's not ideal but AmQuel+ plus removes many nasties from the water. After, you could just use purified water to do water changes.

I have probably 30 gallons of RO/DI, and plenty of salt. I'll be around all day on Monday.

If anyone needs large quatities of RO water, you can go to most Wallmarts and they have a Culligan water dispenser in the soda/water section of the store. It is tap water that is first run thru a sediment filter, then a carbon filter, then reverse osmosis, then a UV sterilizer. It costs 29 cents per gallon. I bing several 5 gallon drinking water dispensers and get 20 or 30 gallons at a time. When I first set up my 75 gallon tank, I got all 75 gallons there (well probably 55 gallons if you consider the sand and rock displacement) all at one time, so you can get large quantities fast.

I'd check the TDS before using it...
