Hi Bro and Sis,

Where can I get water purifier for aqurium?
I staying in singapore and the tap water here is giving me a very big headach.
I have been using carbon filter in the past and i works well.
However recently, after the new water was introduce into the tap, I have alot of problems and fishes just die..

I hope that someone can help me.

Regards,
Wilson

I tot RO is not suitable for aquirum fishes coz it removes all minerals and salt??

plenty of people use ro/di, mostly for saltwater but u get really good water out of it.

Look for an Aquarium Pharm water purifier at the bottom. Much cheaper and is probably easier to find.

Well what are the Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate levels of the tap water? The fish shouldnt just die, so obviously there is something wrong with the water which you have found out already. Are you using a water conditioner? Also RO units are expensive but a good route to go if needed. But you need to figure out whats wrong with the water first before you go off and spend money on something that could just be chlorine. But there is also another concern, did you cycle your tank first? The problem could just be your tank is cycling and may not even be your tap water.
