Still, if you plan on having a reef tank, it's definitely a good idea to have RO/DI water. I have been using it for the past year and really notice a difference from when I was using cleansed tap water.

A TDS meter will give you no idea as to your water quality. Victoria has a 17 to 23 PPM hardness and that is all the meter will tell you. what you realy need to know is what makes up that hardness and what other chemicals are int he water that are not being picted up by a TDS meter.
