See if your water provider (city?) posts water tests online and check it out. Should be a good list of what's in your tap water & at what percentage. Even a trace of copper or some other metal not harmful to us, will eventually build up in your system & can affect invertebrates & corals in particular.
Yeah I have checked nothing really online. I have tested it though and everything is 0 aside from ph of course but the tank it was in had some higher nitrates around 20 ppm still not deathly high but getting there the new tank its in is at 0 so its not getting any worse now, but i just put it in yesterday, so it hasnt gotten any better yet either lol
