Is Ozonated DI water bad for corals?

onecollegereef · Jan 17, 2022

I do not have an RO/DI set up that I can bring to school, so I bought DI water from the grocery store. It says its Ozonated. Will this affect my corals negatively?

The ozone is used to kill germs that could grow in the water while it is on the shelf if they were in there when it was sealed. It should be fine for top off or mix water.

I would agree, DI water from the store is safe to use. Ozonated or not.

hi,sorry i disagree, out of machine at store is a crapshoot, have tested a few,all vary ,
we have no clue on the maintenance on these .
factory bottled ,different story
distilled 0 tds
drinking 6-8 tds
artesian /spring 10+ tds

Good call, I was assuming bottled, not out of a machine.

edit: bottled distilled...
