Is anyone using distilled water in there reef?

[daniella3d]

isn't that expensive at the end due to electricity bill?

One gallon in 5 hours? sound a bit tedious if you need 20 gallons ??

I can do 20 gallons overnight at 0 TDS with my RO/DI. I guess the distiller would be ok if you have a small nano tank maybe.
