In the 70s we can just leave tap water overnight; chlorine will dissipate and water is safe for fishes. However, modern water treatment processes add not just chlorine but chloramines which is more stable and will not dissipate easily. Thus, the best way is to use water conditioners below to treat your tap water before using it.
Do note that water conditioners do not only removes Chlorine or Chloramines but some also will bind heavy metals that are usually found in tap water especially Singapore which predominantly uses copper pipings.

so i have to buy all 4?? would buying distill of the shelf save more??

Hi bro,
Boiling water or boiled water is not distilled water. Distillation involves evaporation of water free from impurities and condenses in a separated container. The impurities will remain in the vat used to boil the water. When we boil the water, all impurities remains in the water.
De-ionised water is using Ion exchange media to trap impurities in order to get clean water. Some will even add Reverse Osmosis process into the DI stage to have better results. RO membrane to remove particulates where by DI to further removes dissolves impurities.
Each of the above have its own pros and cons, you may want to weigh them before committing.
However, if you are not intending to keep demanding corals such as SPS, my personal choice will be de-chlorinated tap water.
so just for a fower tank i just de-chlorinated tap water??if so how do i do that??btw any idea if diamond water is de-chlorinated??

When you talk about distilled water are you talking about boiling your water or buying boiled water. if you read the salt container it says to use RO water, the reason is RO water has a PH of 6+ well below neutral 7.0, the acidity help to break the salt down, the salts buffer is designed to work with acidic water to bring the level to 8.2-8.4
See one companies instruction:
Mixing Directions:
Dissolve 1/2 cup of Sea Salt Mix in one gallon of water (.29 lb per gallon). For best results, use de-chlorinated de-ionized or best if used reverse osmosis water.
Briefly agitate salt solution with a small pump.
Measure salinity (specific gravity) with a hydrometer. Adjust salinity (increase or decrease) to the desired level. This can be done by adding salt or water, respectively.
so where do i get RO from?? is it the same as distill water??
-
I was wondering if we can use any distill water to make our salt water or is there any good suggestions ??

Depends on how much you pay for it. A lot of money = expensive. Less money = cheap.
What kind of question is this???
Edit: Sorry if my tone sounds harsh, but seriously the value of your corals is determined by how much you like it. How much you pay at the shop is another matter.
oh i thought like there is a grade for yumas therefore saying expensive or cheap yumas lo
-
sold
mod please closed thread TY
-
There are cheap yumas too, quite common with indo shipments. As I said, prices depend on a lot of factors, mainly colour and demand. $5 for a rock of yuma is not unusual.
erm then how to know its a expensive and cheap yuma???
-
yumas have irregularly shapes bubbles and bumps. giving it a rough, warty lookign surface.
rics have smooth round and somewhat similar shaped bumps. the bubbles and bumps are very tightly spaced giving it a very "bunch of grapes" look.
also, rics never appear in any other shipment except carribean.
meaning to say if i have a mushroom with alot of bumps and rough looks its a yumas??? cause i bought one at 5bucks with alot on it so kinda thinking it cant be a yumas since its suspose to be that expensive =.=
-
LOLOLOLOLOL! nice one bino!
=.= i try to post a pic not sure if this is a yuma or mushroom
-
if 1 ricordea (yuma or florida) has only one mouth, cut through the middle of the mouth and both halves will heal into a full ricordea.
in the event you miss the middle of the mouth, and end up with a full mouth on one frag and the other frag without a mouth, the other frag will/might heal and grow a new mouth (as what terryz has mentioned)
erm then how does a yuma differ from a mushroom they look alike -.- please advice ^^
-
thanks for the help^^
-
