Yeah, ya'll read that correctly. Someone here recommended that I buy a TDS meter. I did. I checked the TDS of my so-called "RO" water from the LFS. It came out to 190! My tap water is 180! Now that I think I have pinpointed my problem (after all the fricken time & money spent trying to correct it) what do I need to do, other than invest in a RO/DI system, which is my next purchase after I pay my truck payment next week (meaning I will get it in 3 weeks with the next paycheck.) I already plan on sticking with grocery store bought Distilled water, I checked that and it was only 2 or 3, I know its supposed to be 0, but 3 is definately better than 190 that I was putting in. Should I do another big water change? I plan on doing atleast 5 gals tomorrow as my weekly maintenence, but should I do more? They use "purified seawater" not pre-mixed salt, is this ok? Or do I need to find yet another LFS? Thanks in advance for any info/suggestions. And thanks again to the person who recommended the TDS meter!!
