slapper Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Has anyone used such water for their tank? I'm refering to those water filtered from our home drinking water systems such as Alkali water. Understand that these water are filtered through several filter stages. Quote My Tank Journey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zender Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I use them. Filtered alkaline water. So far so good. No algae bloom or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
