I have been using Edmonton tap water dechlorinated with Prime for the last 3.5 years, first 3 years mostly just fowler with snails and hermits. Started doing some corals recently everything is doing good and I am still just using tap water.

I used to use Edmonton tap water with prime. Tap water reads about 163ppm in Morinville. Water comes from Edmonton.

Thanks for the replys.

The tank will be in my daughters room on the second floor and my RO/DI unit and holding tank is in the basement. I wasn't looking forward to dragging water two stories with a touchy knee if I didn't have to. This is why I have a nano reef, only small buckets of water for weekly water changes. Does anyone think a phosban reactor is required? I'm mostly concerned about algae issues. Thx.
