After the incidences of fish deaths after each water change, I would like to completely avoid using my tap water.
Instead of adding tap water to remineralise the pure RO water, I've started adding back some of the waste water instead.
As far as I can tell, the waste water has no chlorine or chloramine since it goes through the sediment and two carbon chambers. I no longer need to use Prime or dechlorinator.
I need a lower proportion of water to achieve a TDS of 120. More interestingly, it results in a lower water pH of 6.5-7 instead of pH 7.5 when mixed with tap water.
Seems to be all positives. Am I missing anything?
