So Prime is a great tap water conditioner, primarily because it neutralizes ammonia, meaning it also neutralizes ammonia compounds like chlorine and chloramine. RODI and Distilled water don't need Prime, because there is no ammonia in prime. So for saltwater aquariums, distilled, RO, or RODI water by itself and then mixed with a salt mix of your choice will work just fine! :-)
Thanks! I have been well. When I started working full time for Bulk Reef a few years ago, I just didn't have the time or energy to keep up with MFFT videos. But I do still work on the website and blog from time to time....
Yep! RODI water is preferred, but RO water works just fine as well. You can also use distilled water, but that is usually more expensive. You can just go to the grocery store and buy one of those 5 gallon drinking water jugs and use that for a great price!
@indoorEcosystem is correct. While there are some people who use tap water, it is very risky. It will depend heavily on your water source, pipes, how your municipality treats the water, etc. I would say 99% of saltwater hobbyists use some form of filtered water. But if you don't buy an RODI filter, just go to the grocery store and buy gallons or those large jugs of RO water (filtered drinking water), and that will work great too!
This video is awesome! Can’t believe how big the anemones got in just 3 months 😊
I’m didn’t think they had grown that much until I looked back at some earlier footage! Makes me smile! Thanks for watching and commenting! -Matthew
What are the rear chamber dimensions?
3 3/8" W x 14 5/8 L :-)
Can you please expand shipping to Australia I really want a hello reef tank as there’s no good looking clownfish tank starter kits here 😢😢
We are slowly working on expanding our shipping to Europe, Asia, and Australia, but we aren't there yet!
Hopefully you’ll be adding Europe soon! This kit looks like the perfect fit for me to start reefing!! :)
Were the BTAs added with the cleanup crew on the 9th day i.e. ? That's insane 😮 wow
No, they were definitely not! The nems weren't added until after the clownfish during week five or six!
Is it the same thing to use distilled water with PRIME over RO water for reefing?

Filtered drinking water like RO or RODI?
Yep! RODI water is preferred, but RO water works just fine as well. You can also use distilled water, but that is usually more expensive. You can just go to the grocery store and buy one of those 5 gallon drinking water jugs and use that for a great price!
Does anyone know how to make salt water that use tap water.
You can't. Just get an RO unit they are cheap.

i just go get my water at the sea .... 4 hours of driving and the water will last a lifetime if you have a well working filtering system
Jealous that you live close enough for natural seawater!
Sucks that i live right next to the sea but that water is filthy af😢
What do you mean by well working filtration . Please suggest good filtration for my 30 g tank
Interesting. Doesn’t it matter what sea water you’re putting in and the fish going in?
