We use straight-up tap water and have no hair algae or actually a large amount of ANY algae. Cleaning of the glass every couple of weeks is about all we need to do.

I use the aquasafe unit from ebay http://stores.ebay.ca/The-Aqua-Safe-Pure-Water-Shop.

I have it hooked up in the basement in the bathroom beside the tank under the sink. Right now I just run it when I need to make up water but I did buy a rain barrel and am planning on hooking up a float valve to keep the resevoir full so I don't have to set a timer and hope I don't forget it and flood the basement .

If you need pictures of the setup just let me know

Sure, can do when I get home tonight

They are very easy to set up, I procrastinated for a long time as I'm not a big DIY kind of guy but when I finally got up the nerve to set it up, I was done in under 1/2 an hour.
