Starting a new 75g, water help!

[redsanurse]

There is no way I am going to run my small RO/DI unit for 10 days straight to fill this thing (it's good for water top ups and small changes)

What and where is the best water to buy for my start up?

Many websites suggest distilled water, but that's awfully vague!

Distilled water is pretty clear on what it is.  I don't think its that vague at all.  You can buy it from any grocery store.. You can maybe buy from Got Fish! Or Big Al's.. Or there was even a guy before selling it on Kijiji with Salt mixed or not..   All in all the cheapest would be to let the RODI run but if you are willing to pay extra for water there are many options.

You can even get it from walmart

Water depot on Hazeldean would be a good start. I would make you some but my machine is down waiting on a part. I would stay away from most grocery stores water and go to an actual water store as they take more care of filters etc.
