So you guys/gals use normal tap water to fill your tanks???

Distilled for me.

Shaggy, do you use any sort of additive to replace trace elements, etc. when you use distilled water? I'm serously cosidering going the r/o route and I have a product called RO right thats suppose to do that. Wondered if you had tried it?

Normal tap water, water conditioner isn't needed here.

Cichlid man, it is great that you can siphon into your garden drain, but this guy is trying to get water into his tank tah is stored in a container on the floor. You can't siphon uphill. Maybe you should follow your own advice and read the posts carefully!

aren't there reasonably priced (under $20) submersible pumps made to do things like this?

If it were on a Squat bar or barbell it wouldn't be a problem but this container is kinda awkward.
