OH NO! I really appreciate your input. I'm just trying to hold myself back I guess, I keep wanting to go nigger and better, but I know I need to wait until we get somewhere that we're goint o be at for a while. Thanks so much for the advice and the input. By the way, is Spring or Drinking water as closed to DI as I'm going to come?

Thanks, Kyleen

I understand about settling somewhere before jumping in head first. That's why I have my nano. I want a bigger tank, but I know that another move is coming my way soon so I'll wait.
About the Drinking water. Check the bottle it should tell you what process the water went through before being bottled. You should also be able to find RO water at your local grocery store, in the same section. RO water is a better choice than DI, and RO/DI is a combination of the 2 and some say it's better than RO. I've use RO water exlusivly for the past year and it's worked perfect.

Peace
