AnimalNerd98 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Does anyone know if “industrial water” is safe for aquarium fish? This is the kind of water you get in Biology labs and I was wondering if it would be safe to use for an aquarium since there are only Deionized water and Industrial water in the room. I am leaning towards a heavy no, and I don’t have any water test kits (my main concern is heavy metals) in which case, I would just use use DI water and remineralize it with something like wonder shell. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Can you have it lab tested to see the exact contents? It sounds ominous but maybe it is good water! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekjunkie28 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Probably not. Deionized water isnt safe or useful unless you are missing in salt for marine tanks. I ran RODI and its the only way to do saltwater. I am thinking about running a sediment filter for the whole house but doing carbon blocks for aquarium water. I think it might be counter productive though. My water is semi hard AFAIK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
