you don't get what Bob is saying though, he said all tap water is okay and it doesn't matter what's in it the plants will take it out.
Glad you understand.
More specifically, If you use cold water, run it for a minute to flush out the pipes, and have a thriving plant life hopefully established as the first thing, then it is ok.
I know you don't agree with that. I just have a different idea. Based upon my experience.
But just like the LFSs Drk mentioned, people just can't accept that.

I guess if it was all tap water the drk's corals are dieing also.
and of course fish have thrived and spawned in my tanks for 4 years from a previous setup. In my current setup I have only lost one fish in the last 8 months and that was a madarian with a very deap wound between the eyes from a CBS. Macros were added one year ago. So from 4 months after adding the macros to present I have only lost one fish.
BTW how much plant life do you have in your system? How many macros did you export last week? How much of your rocks are covered with algae? How much algae do you have to scrape of your glass each week?
Unless you have no macros, no corraline or other algae, you simply can not stated it is the input water or the action of that plant life that is maintaining your system.
