I have a basic RO unit I have been using for my FOWLR 55 gallon. I moved to an apartment and want to set up my 90 gallon. The downside to the apartment is there are only 2 faucets, bathroom, kitchen, and the water pressure is extremely low. I don't think I will be able to use my RO unit there because of the water pressure, and also not being able to use the kitchen sink for a few days to make the water for a 90 gallon.
I found some information online on how to make a tap water filter by just running the tap water through a Poly Filter pad. These pads cost around $6 and remove phosphates, nitrates, copper, silicates, and ammonia from the tap water.
I going to hook up my old python hose when I had a freshwater tank, stuff the Poly fitler pad in the end of it, and let the tap water run through it. From what I understand that should remove most of the harmful metals found in the tap water, and you just add salt and some chemical dechlorination before adding it to the tank.
Anyone ever try this kind of setup? I'm not going to be keeping any corals, and just doing a basic FOWLR setup.
