reverse osmosis water

Post by talonix »

Hey everyone,

I've got 3 RO containers filled with RO water, was wondering if I need to add anything else to it apart from salt and a pH buffer.

Thanks, Scott

If it's gonna be sitting for a bit, just make sure the container's airtight, that's the main thing. Possibly consider a small pump to keep the water circulating, that should prevent it from going stale.

No need to add anything if you're storing it. But if you're planning to put marine livestock in it eventually, synthetic sea salt mix is what you'll need. Seawater's got a lot more to it than just salt and buffer.
