Bill is spot on. Carnivores also need distilled/rain/ro water and low nutrient substrate(which most plants won’t live in). So tap/bottled/mineral water will kill the plants. Many, like fly traps, also appreciate sitting in a bog and don’t tolerate drying out at all. All of these things would...

You can still use the waste water from RO units... Water plants... Wash cars etc.

How does one go about measuring TDS? Do I need to take a sample to an aquarium store or is there an inexpensive kit to diy?

The white residue on the cage is from using water with minerals in it (tap water). You will see it on your new cage as well unless you switch to RO or distilled water.

Never even heard of people putting uv light on town water. There no reason. Now well water yes some places it's required to make water drinkable. Knw of few people that have uv on well and no ro system. They paid professional to hook up systems. They get water tested every other month. Now if...

If or when you are going to use a UV sterilizer for drinking water I would absolutely use some type of ultra fine filter along with the UV sterilizer. Alone I would not use a UV sterilizer. If you are an aquarium type arrangement. There maybe UV sterilizers that are made for Drinking Water...

So I’m a little confused on the wording for some of this, if u don’t mind explaining some things to me. First would purified water work? Second, who they physically have to be in 2 inches of water, how does that work? And lastly do u think it would survive in a set up like this (the sundew in...

I use RO water, but I have the older Mist King that didn’t come with the reservoir filter. I keep the reservoir covered and clean, but I’m sure some dust particles will make their way in. I don’t keep track of the ages of my mist nozzles, but Stella’s is probably at least 2 1/2 years old.

Hi- I have the same terrarium. Have you checked your UVB output with a Solarmeter? When I did this I found that my basking branch had to be just 6" below the screen to get the required UVI of 3, not the 8" they use with a Reptibreeze, and I had to raise the tube above the screen about 2" to...

...for around 1500 gallons so just the cost of filtering the water is about $0.07/gallon, plus whatever you pay for water normally. I would guess it's about $0.15/gallon of RO water when you factor in the cost of the water that is used total. So I would say the RO buddie is definitely cost...

have you ever had problems with the nozzles clogging? just got the mist king and planned to use distilled but I just want to make sure

Why are misters okay, but not hand sprayers? Just curious. Would distilled counter over(?)-mineralization, as in over dusting?

Anyone on here have a zen habitats enclosure? I purchased two. Ones the meridian and the other is normal. I only set up the meridian one and so far i put it together right but there seems to be gaps between the back panel and sides. Enough for water to get through in my opinion. Will i have to...

I got a TDS reader free with my Zero water filter... I do not use RO now because I can not get it without driving across town. Anyways... I have two readers if you want me to mail you my extra. This is my reading on my filtered water. I just got a new filter that I need to switch out. I...

Which water did you use? Even when I used RO the digger would get nasty. I had to use distilled to really slow it down.
