    Switch to RO

    What is the best way to switch from tap water to RO water? Full, 50% or less water change? Can anyone give me a detailed step-by-step account of how they did it (If anyone has)?

    Algae growth is become unbearable and dedicating the weekend to hanging my fixture, beginning the switch to RO, etc. Any thoughts?

    Best of luck,
    Matt

    I did a 50% water change when I swapped. Then after that its just normal water changes.

    Anything special I need to know? Did you re-acclimate your fish? Did you add any supplements to the water?
    Best of luck,

    Nope. Jsut made up 100 gallons of water the day before and made sure it was to temperature and same salinity.
