Thank you,

Most bottled water will be fine for an Opae ula tank but in my guides i say to be cautious because not all water is clean and free of ingredients that may be harmful. I didn't want to make a large list of bottled waters that are ok or should be avoided is all. The minerals that the shrimp need will come from the Synthetic marine salt you mix into the water so don't worry about that side of things.
Don't use tap water, i 100% guarantee it will end up killing your shrimp because of the additives/chemicals in it. Even if you dechlorinate it with products it still wont be clean enough for the Opae ula to remain healthy.
