I live in the country and I was wondering if it is neccasary to have an RO/DI with coral? I have inverts in the tank right now and they are doing fine.

It's not that using tap water can necessarily harm corals and inverts (unless there's copper in it). It's not ideal to use and most people have algae problems, but it can be done. I went from using tap to using RO/DI and noticed a lot of improvements though.
