    i use tap water previous and my po4 is app 0.5ppm
    changed to distilled water and did a 6 litres water change twice
    will continue til the end of the year and measure

    well after testing, my PO4 level is not zero. but just low, i guess. cos its using a color chart to compare. and it seems between two colours. so i'm guessing that its low but not zero. anyway those color charts are really hard to see.

    wow, how many bottles u got to buy at one time, man! and dont distilled water come with other stuff inside as well? like calcium, chlorine etc..
