I recently set up an aquarium for my brother, who had two small African Dwarf Frogs in a 6x6" plastic box. When I looked up what water to use, it said spring, since it has natural minerals, etc, that the frogs need.
I've been using distilled for my crabs because of the thought of "purity" and they've been fine, but am wondering what you guys use and why, and if you think one is better over the other?
thanks!

Re: Why to use distilled instead of dechlorinated
As mentioned on page one, distilled water is pure and why it is important to offer a properly mixed ocean/sea water. If one opts to use spring water, one should use a dechlorinator in it.
