Im looking to start my first reef tank and have run into the simple issue of filling it with water... I've called a few stores and they all recomended buying either a RO/DI purifier or buying water from them for ~$1 a gallon.
My problem is the price of a purifier or the issue of transporting ~30 gallons of water on the subway.
My question is can you use Tap/Spring water and use phosphate and nitrate removers in the tanks while it cycles? If not any other recomendations?
Thanks
