Chrissy... I actually use distilled water I buy from a water store. The main reason to use it is to minimize the hard water buildup on the glass of the tank. You don't get any with distilled. I'm not sure about RO.
Where are you located? That will determine some who would be recommended as a breeder. If you can get your gex without shipping it is less stressful on them!
