Water Questions

Regmon Sep 08, 2011 02:51 PM

I'm wanting to obtain a few treefrogs but I do not like the water stains on aquaria or waterproof cages . I was thinking of R.O. or D.I. water , like they use for tropical fish. Since this is safe for fish , I would assume it's safe for amphibians? I'm not sure if R.O. or D.I. will leave water stains as although R.O. water is pure , D.I. is the purest you can get. '
Any opinions ?

I think you are correct... the only time i've had water stains was from hard well water used in aquaria. This was for a time I lived out on a farm for 6 months.
Other than that, i've always had fish and/or amphibians using tap water treated with conditioners and have never had water staining problems, atleast nothing that couldn't be easily wiped clean.

I would think RO or DI water wouldn't leave any stain or residue.
