Hey everyone!

Long time reefer here that recently relocated to NYC. I have been planning a new nano setup for my (small, walk-up) apartment. How do most people source water for tanks? I used to purchase all of my water from my LFS and transport it home for initial setup and water changes. I’m not very familiar with at-home RODI setups. Any other options here?

Thanks!

rodi with a sink adapter, its pretty straight forward and overall way cheaper, you can buy a rodi unit used from a tank breakdown for a fraction of the cost, the resin/ cartridges can be brought off amazon or mosreef.

If it is just a nano you could either buy distilled water or order RODI from a local aquarium maintenance service. I use Manhattan Aquariums to deliver some RODI and premixed saltwater when I need it. Not the most cost effective thing obviously but it eliminates the need to run RODI on your own.

In New York City, many aquarium enthusiasts use at-home RODI (Reverse Osmosis Deionization) systems for convenience, as these systems produce purified water suitable for water changes. Alternatively, some people opt for local water delivery services or visit nearby local fish stores (LFS) to purchase pre-mixed saltwater. For those with nano setups, a RODI system may be the most efficient long-term solution for maintaining consistent water quality. For medical students, I discovered an online platform called ukwritings that specializes in sociology writing. I have been using https://ukwritings.com/sociology-essay-help services for the last five months, and my experience has been excellent. The UKWriting team provides high-quality sociology writing without relying on AI-generated content. Using their services can save time, as they provide quick access to sociology writing materials.
