Very interesting...
I'll admit, I still use tap... I'm kinda small, and my tank it kinda big.. it's hard enough to do water changes without heavy jugs. Someday I'll invest in an RO unit, but so far I haven't had any problems to justify it. Water quality is pristine, and no algae problems. I've only got mushrooms, zoas, ricordeas, a colt coral, devil's hand, clam, and some acans so far. Also a few feather dusters, coco worms, a tube anemone, and just added a galaxy coral. Everything is doing well. The galaxy is new, but looks good.

I'm scared to take that next step into something harder. The galaxia I thought would be that next step, but it's easier than than the acans and appears to be doing well.
