Re: Osmose Water
What is "osmose water"? Do you mean Reverse Osmosis water? If so, the answer is generally no, you should not. High rejection RO water may lack required minerals.

Re: Osmose Water
I have a Tetraodon Nigroviridis .
I just read about it on the Internet (I don't run my tank entirely with reverse osmosis water) and there someone said he did.
I was just curious about it because he said it worked out for him!

Re: Osmose Water
The answer is both yes and no. you cant by just RO alone, you gotta add the minerals too and only then will you find long term success

Re: Osmose Water
Tim's post presupposes that the tank is to be marine. RO or RODI is also used in FW for breeding Ca/Mg ion sensitive fish, as well as for low-end BW, or even for ordinary FW fish where the tap water is not suitable.

Re: Osmose Water
I use strictly RODI water for my marine/reef tanks. If your tank is the SG of SW, then yous, you certainly can.

Re: Osmose Water
BTW unless I overlooked it, shouldn't that topic be listed in the library section instead of the general discussion? It is quite a handy topic.Pufferpunk wrote:viewtopic.php?f=2&t=170

+1 to PP's comment. New acronyms come around too often to update an article regularly and routinely.
