    Default starting 10g nano

    Well after a long break from keeping tanks, I've decided i wanted to start a new 10g nano. I did alot of reading but one thing confuses me, i'm planning on going FOWLR for a few months, but, doing all this reading im not sure what water to use. Some say RO/DI but others say tap is fine. If anyone could help and shed some light it would be greatly appreiciated.

    It will depend on the quality of your tap water.
    I used DI water in my reef for years.
    One day I switched to plain tap water and never noticed any difference in the reef.

    I use tap water, usually with prime to dechlorinate.

    tap water is fine in a fowlr tank, if you want to go reef its best to use ro water imo, but im not gonna lie, i use tap water in my reef tanks, i just put alot more filtration on my tanks
    i have lots of tanks
    and im a welder who likes playing with glass
