Well guys, thanks for the replies. I went ahead and purchased some RO/DI water from a water store a couple minutes from my house. They will fill a 5 gallon jug for $3. I bought three 5-gallon jugs from them and I got the water for free. Now I'll have 3 jugs handy in which I'll premix my water...
How about using something like this?

That makes sense. I think there's even a water store by me that I could probably take jugs to and get RO water for cheap.
I have another question along the same vein: Can you boil tap water and use that?
Hey guys, in the next few weeks or so I'll be setting up a 12 gallon cube. I'm taking my time trying to get as much info as I can before I start. I was wondering if you could use tap water and a declorinator additive to make your saltwater. I've read about RO devices and such, but I don't know...
Are there any fixtures available for a 5 1/2 gallon tank suitable for a nano reef tank? If so, could you point me in the right direction to get one. Thanks.
