    Default Water for new tank

    Probably a dumb question.. I don't have a RO unit yet.. so my question, what do you do for water in San Antonio? I have a 75g with 20g sump. I'm assuming buy it from the fish store? If that is the answer, what's the easiest way to transport?

    Thanks

    I suggest getting a decent RO/DI unit. Most lfs and local water dispensors have very high TDS. If you can get your hands on a TDS meter, test the water before yoiu buy it, I can almost guarantee it will have a reading well above zero... Especially if its ony RO water and not RO/DI... You'll be saving money in the long run..

    I DELT WITH THE SAME THING, I WOULD SAVE $ OR IF YOU GOT $ I WOULD INVEST IN A RO\DI UNIT . It would save you a lot of $ and a lot of . tds meter would be great to have too.
