Ok obvious RO is better than tap, but curious how the tap water here shapes up? I have to fill a 34 gal and I can't say I am super stoked about the idea of hauling that many water jugs...... So the Alexandria area water (assuming it comes out of the potomac) is how gross? Anyone have a TDS reading on it?

Hey all, I just wanted to take a second to say hi, I am new to the DC area and was referred here by people on Nano-Reef.com, where I spend most of my time. I am a recent VT grad living in Alexandria but working downtown. I am planning on being at the meeting 8/9 so I hope to meet y'all there. righ Since I just moved here two weeks ago I havent had a chance to restart my tank. I have a 34 gal solana tank (Current USA) and am getting a 250w MH pendant to hang over her. Going to be mostly SPS I think (I always say those things and end up finding other stuff that entertains me.....). Still trying to find a stand for the tank so if anyone knows a current dealer in the area who stocks that tank lemme know! I've been keeping marine fish since my jr year at VT where I had a dorm reef while in the Corps of Cadets (that was interesting!) but have always kept small tanks. Couple of questions for y'all: - Wheres the best place to buy 34gals of RO water? I want to buy a unit but dont have the money right this second so i'll wait until I can afford it and just buy RO until then. - Any Current USA dealers who carry the Solana tank that you guys know of? ~Kmitch
