Need Help with RO units

I have decided exactly on what the fish list is going to be. Right now the ideas I am throwing around are rams/apistos angels/discus. I have a lot of homework on all species and have kept both angels and rams in the past.

Whenever I do my water changes I usually go buy RO water from the LFS and use that instead of my tap water. The tap water here usually runs high 7 to around 8.0 ph, which is too high for what I want to keep. Just wondering who uses RO units out there and if it is worth it to get one.

Sorry but have to bump this one. Just curious if anyone has one or has used one in the past. My ph around here runs a little over 8.0 and is not real clean so it would save me time running to and from the LFS buying RO water.

Just looking for some insight...

Ok. Hmmm all the decisions to be made!! :-? I am trying to keep the ph down in my tank seeing as the ph spikes to over 8.0 whenever I add my tap water into the equation. Am I correct to assume that RO water coming from my tap will still have lower ph?

ok thanks a lot guys! I really appreciate the help. Almost sounds like its not as worth it as I once believed. Unless I find a good deal, I think I may pass on it until I get my big tank .

Thanks again guys, this is why I use the board. :thumb:
