did he state a reason other then there bad for the animal? like a physical effect on the animal?

i admit i may be wrong here since it is a species book, but i cant find any information on the dangers of phosphate on the the internet. id be grateful for anymore info you have on the subject.

I agree. Just remember that RO water is void of pretty much everything, so you'll need to really stay ontop of your water supplements.

FOWLR for a snowflake is fine to use tap water with dechlorinater. I have been keeping my Snowflake Moray and White Ribbon for months and it's what I do. I have never seen a more active group of eels with as much personnality.

contradicting info? i could save without money without an RO, but if i should really have one, then ill get one.

before you entertain the idea more(which i think would work if you have quality tap water) i would test you tap for nitrates and even nitrites.

im going to assume that it will have bad tap water. i have not moved to the area yet, but i think thatd be safe to assume

then you need filtered water.

will you have space for a ro filter and trash can of water in your apartment?
