Hi Chris,

Welcome to Calgary !

Likely the tapwater here will work if you like algae, and get the macroalgaes in place as a nutrient control. This can probably work for low bioloads.

We keep a higher bioload in most of our tanks and use RO/DI and top quality skimming to keep nuisance algae away, and nutrients under control. This is to allow us to keep a higher fish load, while maintaining the water quality required for coral as well.

As you can see, it is not quite that black and white, depending on what you plan for your tank.

I have done a lot of MO because I am not always comfortable with what is available here. Your location in the city will probably determine where you buy dry goods etc.
