OK to use tap-water in quarantine tank

[drewdog82]

I always use RO water in the main tank, but I was wondering if it was ok to use tap water in a quarantine tank, since only fish will be quarantined???

Let me rephrase.... those with quarantine tanks, do u use RO water ro tap water???

RO is better. Since you may medicate this tank, the less there is in the water to affect the meds the better.

Since you put fish in there to get them healthier I think you want the cleanest water you can get.

If you do use tap don't forget to decholrinate.
