    live rock

    Can I nuke my RO water?

    I had always heard that. Certainly one of the main problems with microwaving baby milk is the potential for accidently burning the child. I assume not too many are that stupid, but I am sure it has happened. I may google the subject. Probably not though as I will never have to go through...
