Hey all, I've been browsing around the site and I'm seeing almost every tank guidelines thread mentioning a ro/di system as a requirement for your tank. I've been doing malawi cichlids my whole time around here and I've got some very allkaline hard water which they happen to thrive in so I never had to worry much about a water system.
I'm interested in starting up a 30-40g clown tank (just beginning research on how to stock and what to do differently than fresh water).
So for a very basic setup, is spending $100+ on a rodi system really neccessary? Is this more for bigger more expensive tanks? Will I have success simply using my water for a clown tank? (from what I've seen so far clowns like higher pH as well)
my water tests out at 8.4 pH and is definitely on the hard side.
