water change

[trottman]

i really need to do a water change, and cannot get RO water till wednesday.

would it really be that horrible if i used tap water, and an anti chlorine drop???

i'd say you'll be better off waiting. did something happen that it has to be done right now?

 

[trottman]

well i have been gone 2 weeks and the water went to crap. it is kinda yellow and my sps are browning.

-- same deal that happend at GWA. and large water changes is what fixed that

2 days of waiting for r/o is better than using tapwater anyday.

 

[beapeams]

Why are you waiting to get RO?

 

[JxMetal]

I haven't done a change in a month! AHH

are you using carbon

 

[trottman]

i think my carbon went bad... i kinda forgot about it for a few months

but i did a 50 gallon change today, and everything looks better.

i bought 50 bottles of distilled water from wally for $24. (2 carts full baby!)

Whoa, whoa....

You mean you ain't got one o dem water gizmos at home dat makes your own clean water?

Dat makes it sooo much nizer.

Does wally world still have distilled water? I thought they stopped selling it favor of "drinking water"?
