If I join my local aquarium, I can get unlimited free filtered salt water for free. I am currently using Instant Ocean and regular tap water mix. I wanted to purchase a RO unit to help cut back on algae that is growing because of my stronger lights. I started a refugium but it is still too new to compete with the diatoms, and I have turbos and hermits, but still could use more help.
I am wondering if it is better to go with RO water or the filtered sea water? I assume I would have to add suppliments to both (CA, etc) either way.
Any opinions on what would be the most beneficial, and safe choice to control the diatoms?
