Default Distilled Water For Top-Off

Distilled is fine. It's bottled in food-grade containers and is safe for
people...and fish. Make sure it's distilled....not spring water. Another
good option is Wal-Mart. many of them have RO/DI water on tap for 33 cents a
gallon.

Has anyone ever done a test on the distilled water in plastic gallon
jugs that you get from the supermarket? I use this for top-off water
but have not done tests on it. I've got a small 25g reef tank so the
expense is not too bad...but I just wonder about chemicals from the
plastic jugs that may leech into the water. Any opinions?

Im with Rich.. I've also heard that many distillers still have coper tubing.
I'd opt for RO RO/DI
