Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Safe water
Hey everyone! I’m honestly not sure if this is the right forum for this or not but it’s worth a shot in any case. So I live just south of where a train derailment happened in Ohio. Maybe you’ve seen it on the news. Anyhow chemicals are being found in the river I live on but the water department says they are treating it to have them gone or harmless by the time it leaves the treatment plant. Personally I want to buy water but I’m not sure if it matters what I buy. I have reptisafe water treatment already but wanted to know if it mattered if I got spring water or distilled or whatever. I greatly appreciate the help. My tortoises, fish, skink, and cat would appreciate the help as well.

If you had been using tap water or dechlorinated tap water until now, then spring water would be the closest equivalent.
Distilled water would most likely complicate your aquarium parameters as it has no minerals in it at all. Distilled isn't a straightforwardly simple replacement for tap water, at any rate.

The police dept I work at has been collecting water this week up until tomorrow and shipping down there. They are going to be giving residents multiple cases of water. Other area police and fire doing same. As of this morning we have 5 full pallets in our lobby.

Interestingly enough Connie and I have been drinking distilled water for years now. We get our tap water from our own well, and there is a noticeable "sludge" left over after the distillation process. Certainly a lot of limestone in the water from our well causing the majority of that sludge, since this area is riddled with limestone which the ground water flows through.
