Distilled Water
For those who use distilled water for top up/water change.
Do u add anything inside since it if free from mineral etc... For me, i add abit of Mosura shi zhen power before adding the water to the tank, is this good enough? Any the cheapest distilled water you can find in the market, me using Alpheus, from sheng siong, cheapest i can find so far S$ 0.60 for 1.5 litres. Cheers!!! |

If you use distilled water to top up, you can either don't add anything else, or you can add Shizhen powder to provide fulvic acid that found in stream water.
If you use distilled water to do water change, use Mosura Mineral Plus to get a GH of 4, then use TDS Up to get the TDS to the 150 to 200ppm range. |

If you want distilled water, you can go to NTUC which sells less than $6 for twelve 1.5l bottles when there is a promotion. Do look out for it.
I guess this is the cheapest you can find in Singapore. BTW, there are some shifus here that advise that putting too much distilled water will cause the soil to deplete very fast. So be careful. Good luck. |
