TDS reading for FOWLR


Recommended Posts

  • SRC Member

Hi, does anyone know if there is a maximum tds reading for FOWLR tanks which make it safe for the fish and reduce algae growth? I’m not planning on keeping coral. I’m hoping to be able to get away with using singapore’s good tap water with dechlorinator and not purchasing and rodi unit. Thanks!

Is better to use RODI water as our tap water is not very gd even for fish only tank.

I tried that b4 not quite ok.

U can just get the RO unit + booster pump from taobao. The price is very reasonable.

Using RO itself I can get 4 TDS without DI, for your case is very gd liao.

Singapore's tap water are relatively clean.. i used to use tapwater for LPS/softies only tank and had no algae issue.. you can always run a refugium to counter any nutrients issue, and they produces lots of pods/micro faunas that will benefit your fishes too.
