Switching from Distilled to RO/DI

[Lateef]

I am in the process of switcing form Distilled water to RO/DI water in my 55 so tha I can make the leap into corals. I have had a sucsessful fish only for about 5 years. My question is should I make the change with wekkly top-offs or should I do a higher percentage less frequently?

Weekly topoffs should be fine.

The more frequently you top off, the better. Depending on your tank's size and other conditions, a week's worth of evaporation could cause a pretty severe shift in salinity. My recommendation is for your to top off small amounts of water every morning or every night.

Now, if you're talking about water changes (vs. top off), then that's a whole different story
