How exactly is this an emergency, by-the-bye? Also, please do not post the same question(s) in multiple forums--be patient.

I have heard of it, but that would be very expensive, why don't you just run tap water through a cycle

 

[WILDER]

Declorinator not that expensive, or have you run out of it.

Isnt mineral water heavier than tap water because of all the minerals and stuff in it? Not a good idea to use for fish as it contains salt as well as other minerals.

Hi all, i'm trying to find out if it's ok to use bottled water or not?...just can't work out what to use because some people are saying it's bad and some that it's good. I have a Evian bottle in front of me and here is what it says on the lable :

Compostion in mg/litre :
Calcium 78
Bicarbonates 357
Magnesium 24
Sulphates 10
Sodium 5
Chlorides 4.5
Potassium 1
Nitrates 3.8
Silica 13.5
Dry Residue at 180oC : 309mg/l - PH = 7.2


Thanx for all your help!!!

Those are reading to high for most fish. All those minerals could kill. AS I SAID, WHAT IS THE POINT! IT WOULD BE CHEAPER TO USE TAP WATER.
