You don't know how what is in your source water or the rate that those things will accumulate with evaporation. You will have enough issues in a new tank before you tack on those that will come about from using tap. Just don't do it.
Do you have to use RO water when setting up a saltwater tank, or can I just dechlorinate the tap water and use it? I use tap water for my freshwater 60 gallon with no problems.
No. No tap water. Ever.Can I do water changes with tapwater
^^^^^ THIS! ^^^^^If you put tap water in your system it concentrates all the impurities over time. The water evaporates away every day and you add more tap water to replenish it. You are adding more of the impurities in the tap water every time you do. The impurities never leave the tank and even if you have very good tap water you will eventually have problems you cant fix.
Why war? People have every right to screw up their own tanks. I used tap water. I screwed up my own tank.I sensed war when I clicked on this…
