Hey gang, been a long time since I posted here. I used to keep a few varieties of rays years ago and have gone to Reef since then. I did however keep a 75 gallon with tanganyikans going and actually have some Compressiceps that are big enough to spawn, it only took 5 years.
Anyway, I have been doing a lot of water changes on my reef tank lately and noticed I am pumping tons of water down the drain being my RO unit rejects 4 gallons of water for every gallon of RO. I decided I would try to utilize this water by letting in run into my 75 gallon cichlid tank and the overflow from that would run tot he drain. Is this safe? I am thinking it should be as it goes through 2 sediment filters and 2 carbon filters before it is rejected by the RO membrane. In theory the carbon blocks should be removing all chloramines so it should be safer than tap water although it may just be higher in TDS.
What do you guys think?
