Hi everyone, I’ve been using tap water in my reef aquarium for the past two years, and this year I added some corals, including soft corals and anemones, which are open and doing well. I’m thinking about switching to an RO/DI system, and I’m wondering: If I make the change, should I expect to notice any differences in the health or appearance of my corals?
 
I think it will make your reefing journey easier one way or another.
To add to this, you have better control over your parameters, you know your water is coming in clean and pure, without potentials of copper or other heavy metals that may come from tap (or other nastys), no additional need for prime(despite the little it actually does)

* I may be wrong regarding removing copper etc, but it's still better :)
