RED BAMBOO/ NTUC distill water

[raymus]

hi bro.. beside growing cheato in the sump which actually a fact that it absorb the nutrient from the water which promote Nuisance hairy algae grow, how about red bamboo algae ? QN1 :does red bamboo also serve the same purpose to absorb the nutrient?

3 stages DI serve the purpose of eliminating impurilies which promote nuisance algae growth.

beside using DI water, im using those NTUC distil water which indicate impuritilies free according to the label. QN2 : is it much better than DI unit? beside comparing to the cost?

tks....

Red bamboo serves the same purpose as cheato, Imho, cheato grow much faster.

And also food for tangs too.

i am using Life distill water as it register 1ppm from my TDS meter .

I do not know about NTUC's , but do watch out for the difference between mineral water and distilled.

Chaeto grows much faster, and they are easier to take care of. Red bamboo growth rate is a bit slower, but red bamboo is tang favourite. I don't think they like to eat chaeto at all, tried mine many times. Can try red bamboo feeding for your tang, they will grow real fat, the results is very obvious when you compare one with pellet feeding and one with red bamboo feeding. Actually the distilled water is not better than DI, but it just save you the trouble of making your own DI water. Since bro hammy tested with his TDS meter, I'm sure it is quite a good deal to buy instead of using DI or RO water from your machines. But I'm wondering if distilled water have the same content of oxygen level or not?
