It is Summer and my two small open top tanks are losing quite a bit of water every day. Do I top it off with distilled water to keep TDS from rising?

thanks:)

Thanks! I was topping with distilled..then started to worry that too much distilled water is bad for my plants. Will switch to tap water.

too much distilled water is bad for your wallet!

your normal water source water will do just fine, just use your normal water conditioner as you would normally would for water changes

you may also want to up the amount of your water changes or the frequency to help with the TDS... dont want to let them raise to much
