Tap water! Bad idea????

[McNasty]

just a suggestion, and I started my tank with tap water , was okay till water changed in the spring and I ended up with a tank of rock covered with hair algea. went to rodi and never looked back.

If i was to fill a tank now I would try and see if you can get water from established tanks from people doing water changes. will help start your tank off quicker for one, save you on the cost of salt as the water you would get would be for the drain any ways.
