   Perhaps Albert is a little strong in his statement about the
superiority of deionized water. I haven't read the context in which
he made that statement, so I don't really know. Deionized water has
"zip" metal ions in it. Not all distilled or RO water has so little
metal impurity. I doubt if whatever levels are present in distilled
or RO present a problem for the aquarist, however.     John
