you dont have a shop in SA do you as if you did i would be until i could afford my R/O unit and what sort of price you looking at selling for.
thanks

[Xtreme]

$5 per 20/25L container

(currently the average price in Sydney for 20L of RO water from an aquarium store is $8)

been lucky mate has just given me back my R/o unit i gave him 7 years ago when i stopped breeding i will pick up this week that saves some cash pheeeew

[chrissyoscar]

:shock: I knew you could buy sea water for Marine tanks but RO water as well!!
Easy money.

[Proteus]

Given how bad Sydney water can be at times, you would be surprised at how many LFS's actually do sell RO water

[discus lover01]

same as adelaide water proteus it's bad but i was either going to buy new R/O or buy water for a while but mates given me back my r/o unit i gave him 7 years ago.
talk soon

[Proteus]

Yes, I must agree, Adeliade water is great as well... not

I used to visit Adelaide every month for 3 years for work and remember dearly the days spent setting up a 10,000 litre per day RO unit, water recycling system and desalination bypass filters due to just how hard ADL water is, apparently at the airport it was a lot worse for some reason than the rest of Adelaide.

[discus lover01]

yes i have heard this also and the breeder i knew down there had a spawn from 10 pairs weekly of discus and never got any fertile eggs he was 5 mins from airport i brought the 10 pairs from him and in the r/o water within 4 weeks had fry free swimming of 8 of 10 pairs he was not a happy guy after 12 months of getting nothing from themand within 4 weeks i had 800+ babies lol
he asked me what i had done to make them fertile i said it's the water the 2 pairs that were left in the adelaide water community tank laid and had almost 0% fertile eggs.
And it's the same now if not a bit worse if your not using r/o in adelaide then you can almost say you will never have a lot of success but some do and thats just the water where they r is better

R.O Water will be available in January! :wink:

Happy new Year all ---Just a question with the RO Water -do we need to add any trace elements & minerals i.e --Kent R.O Right or will it be added & measured ( conductivity & Hardness ) before it was sold ?

[samir]

you mix it in with your tap water.

[Proteus]

All levels/parameters will be provided once in supply. For an additional cost trace elements will be able to be dosed according to various manufacturers levels.
