I started a 15 gallon reef tank about 3 weeks ago and used tap water with a water conditoner, everything has been doing good other then having alge issues and i am aware I should be using RODI water. If i start doing water changes with RODI from now on will that tap water be filtered out ?
 
Thanks i just wanted another word on it
 
Use RODI and you wil be good. Start with a small water change and gradually increase to about 30% then you should have removed a lot of the nasty stuff. Each water change means more contaminants taken out. Use a solid DI filter and use a TDS or EC meter if possible to measure purity
