No flame from me. An overnight leak test is a great idea. Then drain and fill with quality saltwater.

I have high ammonia in my tap water...found out the hard way. RO/DI units aren't all that expensive. I got a 5 stage one for 189.00 shipping included. Works great, just a little on the slow side.

I use tap water all the time. But when you use a chlorine remover with stress reducer, along with ammonia/nitrate/nitrite remover, shouldn't that be fine? :thinking:
