Is spring water safe for opae ula?

[darth1211]

Hi, wondering if I can use, Crystal Geyser natural alpine spring water, to top off my opae ula.

The answer is No.

Extract from Mustafa article:

"It is important to top off with distilled/reverse osmosis (RO) freshwater periodically to replace water lost to evaporation."

Oh, ok thanks! also, Do you know which brand is good and do I need to use anything before or after topping off?

[Jim177y]

Depend on your country super mart, brand doesn't matter as long as it's distilled water (zero content).

Use a hydrometer to measure the salinity level a few hours after you top up, ideal range is from 1.010 to 1.012

Am I able to use a refractometer?

[Jim177y]

Yes but not recomended.

Alr!
