    Hi, I'm thinking about trying a marine tank...I've read that you need to use purified water or distilled water, rather than tap water.
    Could I use ozone to purify the water?

    Jenpoo, which water would you want to purify, the tap water or the distill water? In my opinion, distill water is good enough even best. As for using ozone, I can't comment on it as I do not have this piece of equipment.

    It's best to use R.O water than add in whatever you need to add in to the water.

    i find singapore beaches are not exactly clean.. better not risk it. unless you can confirm there are healthy reefs nearby.. and its an easier way to get water from farms..

    1 dollar per big packet is less trouble den lugging buckets of water from the beaches..
