I use a pur water filter and my tap water. No one can say your tank will be overrun with algae, unless they are your next door neighbor, are using the same water you are and have a marine tank. Tap water can be used in some instances, I use it with no algae problems what so ever. You may have a tank overrun with algae and you may not. As far as people saying whats another $100 with all the equipment you buy? Its not the $100 I am worried about, its the 4 gals of water I waste for every 1 useable gallon. Just ask the anyone in Atlanta a month ago (drought).


edit: I forgot to add I do top with with Wal-Mart Distilled to keep things from getting concentrated in my tank. I also use carbon in a HOB filter in addition to the PUR filter.

FACT: Did you know that all the major aquariums (Georgia, ect.) use City water treated with carbon. They cannot afford to purify all the water they use.
