hey i know a lot of people frown on tap water, but i started my g/f tank with tap and some prime. she has had no issue had fish in it after 3-4 weeks of it running. we started with new sand(carib sea arag-alive) and some rock from a system i bought that i kept alive in tubs while she set up the tank. added a couple damsels to fuge and went from there.
