I would use RO water better than destilated water. This is the order of water that I would use, 1 being the best;
1. R/O DI h20
2. R/O H2o
3. Some type of filtered h20
4. Spring h20
5. Bottled h20
6. Tap h2o with a conditioner added
As for the ocean water, its ok as long as your getting it from AT LEAST 30 ft down and NOT from the shore line. _________ 9YR OLD 90G 30G w/d Mag18 150G skimmer 692w MH,yel&kole tang,foxface,midas&convict blenny,B&G chromies,Blk/yel fin chromie blackcap,nemo,neon goby,6line; Blastomussa Merleti,Acan ,BUBBLE,Torch,LTA, Goniopora(2), Acropora(2),Brain, Moon, assort zoas, yel& G star polyps, R&G open brain, P&B ricordia, montiporas, cup&candy corals, enias,B/G mush,flower ane(2), cherry red mussa, dusters,cleaning crew  |
