Seachem replenish vs. aquarium salt (IO)

[Itsadeepbluesea]

I have a fresh water aquarium that I'm thinking of using RO/DI water in. Since I will be using RO/DI water I would have to use an additive to replace some of the compounds lost to RO/DI. I was reading the back of seachem replenish and was wonder if I could us use a small amount of aquarium salt added with each water change to accomplish the same thing? I use instant ocean for my salt water tank which is what I would use, there would be no live plants in this tank.

Anyone?

What are you keeping in the tank? You can also mix the RO with straight tap water to get some level of minerals etc. IO will have a lot more ingredients add than what the RO pulls out.

Thanks for the response. I'm planning on doing brook trout again.
