What is the difference between RO water and distilled water. I have been buying my saltwater, but the problem is that the store I go to is over an hour away. I did my water tests on Sunday and my nitrate is at 25 - I think, hate those stupid color charts! - So I changed all my filter media, hoping it would help. I retested yesterday, still the same. But I can't go get water for a water change until tomorrow. So I would like to have some water available all the time. I can't buy an RO unit at this time - hopefully in the future. Right now I am saving for a protien skimmer. My husband does not have the same passion for my new addiction, so I took a part time job just to pay for my tank! Anyway the questions is... making good water without an RO unit. Thanks.
