I posted this in the reef chemistry section also, but thought I might be more responses over here.
I know everyone is now going to reverse osmosis water for the reef tank. But during the RO process, it produces acidic water. Does the acidic level not harm the live stock in the reef tank?Wouldn't long term use of RO eventually cause harm to the system, espically when you are doing 10-15% water changes weekly? Wouldn't this cause the essential minerals that we are adding to the tank (calcium) to be stripped from the corals in order to neutralize the water? Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
