RO in a way hurts fish, RO is too pure for FW fish, you should mix RO half with tapwater

what if i don't have a way to just get tapwater... all of my parents water is RO

You mite be better off buying spring water to top off with.

[cocoa_pleco]

yeah, you need minerals somehow, RO water is too pure

[Sounguru]

Try the hose it usually is not run through an RO system

I am fairly sure there are one or two commercial products that add minerals back to R/O water.
