So does mine, but are pragmatic enough to admit that it's because they can't afford to waste so much water as you do when using RODI.

Businesses need to make choices that are economic but satisfactory enough to do the job. Their goals are different to those of hobbyists, but an honest owner / employee will explain that to you, too.

Edit: sydney tap water has changed a lot over the years and still varies from region to region. I would never use tap water in a reef or marine tank. Jm2c as usual.

Coming from a plumber, i can assure you unfiltered tap water is the last thing you want to be putting in your tank.. You have no idea what we find in mains water pipe lines!

Lol cant say i've seen that. But if people saw the inside quality (or lack of) of the water pipes they drink out of every day, they might turn green. In saying that most lines have been replaced over the years, i'm only refer'ing to old gal pipe's.

Patience is your worst enemy

I failed not because I don't know what to do. But because I'm impatient

But very good learning experience and I get better each time I failed
