hi there. i’m a little over a year into reefing & i just moved 7-8 hours away from a lfs. which is where i got my ro water for top offs & mixing to make saltwater. i cant afford an RO buddie at this exact moment but will be getting on in the very near future. but my question is, can i use spring water for top offs? honestly i already have & everything was fine but im worried about doing continuously because of the minerals. there’s nothing added to this spring water, it’s not treated at all but it has natural minerals. how bad is that for my tank in the long run? could i save money & use this water or get an ro buddie? what are the consequences of using this water? sorry for the long post but thank you to everyone who replies
