I used straight tap water when i re setup my tank at the begining of june and had a bad hair algea outbreak , took me a bunch of ro/di water changes to get it under control. I love my ro/di unit , and i tapped into the line thats before the di resin to make drinking water and im so glad i did , i dont know how people here can drink this stuff!

Not all the dissolved solids can be called crap, some of it is calcium and other dissolved minerals.....
