I've come across a bit of info regarding this subject, but I'd like some input from HFB. I have a spectra pure 90gpd ro/di water filter and my waste water is just that, wasted. I was wondering if I could use this in my peacock tank. Seems like I'd have better piece of mind using that, rather than using water from my garden hose.

It should be fine to use. Since the typical rejection rate of RO systems is 6:1 the increase in hardness is only around 1/6th more than what the tap is.
Better to use the water than dump it down the drain, IMO.
MarkWhat are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.
