    R.O Water on big tanks

    this is exactly what i was thinking... the waste would be high, southern water price per cubic metre is around £1.48 one cubic metre = 1,000 litres if the r.o unit waste was double that of purified water then roughly each water change would cost me no more £4.44.. (£230.88 per year) i could...

    R.O Water on big tanks

    ive definitely thought about rainwater but my local aquatics warned me off due to contaminates... im currently experimenting with pothos (devils ivy) to see if that reduces the nitrate... maybe a sump with a section of plants could be a way forward?

    HI FROM SOUTHAMPTON

    i don't think it has the red spectrum :banghead: is this likely to cause me too much problems? and if it were what would they be? This is what i have brought - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01HI42IB4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
