Hey all,
So as a rookie, setting up my tank I used tap water. I know now that this was a huge mistake, my tank is looking really great and everyone is thriving so hopefully I caught it in time. I just received the RODI buddy I ordered and have some water brewing now, tested the TDS and it's at 5ppm (assuming because I got a 70$ RO buddy) as opposed to my tap which is 157ppm. What is the best way of transitioning the tank to new water? I'm going to do a 20% water change now to siphon the sand bed and such. But long term what's a good plan? I have a dragonette in there who's doing really great and I don't want to nuke it's food supply by ripping the tank down and starting with brand new water
