Tips on Thursday
Many people mist with tap water, dechlorinated with a chemical product. Although this is fine for most of your animals (unless your water is quite hard) it can create unsightly water spots on your tank glass. To avoid water spots, mist with reverse osmosis water, deionized or distilled water. These softer waters have less minerals, which are responsible for the water spots on your glass. For many fragile, tropical animals, softer water is healthier. If you understandably don't want to spend the big bucks on an RO system, you can buy distilled water at most grocery stores for a few buck a gallon, and is more "pure" than RO water anyways.
