I use reconstituted RO/DI water only in all my tanks...top-offs too and my KH is @ 0~1 also.
KH and RO/DI water top-off
In my reef tanks I always top off the tank with RO/DI water which has 0 tds. I do this because only the H2O evaporates not the salt or other minerals, etc... in the water.
My tank water was at 8.4KH. When I toped of my 55 with more 8.4KH tap, the tank KH increased to 10KH. I'm wondering if I should top off with RO/DI water to keep the KH from increasing. (I would still use tap for water changes)
Does this make sense? Does anyone use RO or distilled water in their tanks?

What is "reconstituded?"I use reconstituted RO/DI water only in all my tanks...top-offs too and my KH is @ 0~1 also.
I think they mean remineralized. I am using RO & 1/2 dechlor tap until I get some Equilibrium in the mail.{It's by Seachem}
