    How do I get water into a tank?

    distilling doesnt remove the dissolved metals. do a quick water test on it and see whats left in there. Fish only you can get away with it, but if you ever plan on having coral, go with ro. the metals can be very damaging to the coral after a period of time from what i hear.

    brown on sand

    the water you used likely has at least trace amounts of dissolved metals such as copper, from piping, and other dissolved metals as well. Reverse Osmosis removes 99% of it. You can get it for around $0.30 a gallon. If you continue to use tap water, or poorly filtered water, the dissolved metals...

    that is correct but the water going down the drain is BAD for your tank. That is how much bad stuff the system removes. It is not being wasted it simply must reject the bad water so you can have GREAT water! The system you got beerkegman does not remove the harmful dissolved metals in your...
