ro/di water is essentially the purest for of water u can get, it has pretty much 0 in it, it imo tastes good, and yes its healty, alot of those wierd vegan non meat eaters hehe drink it, it is most certainly the best water for a reef tank also, alot of the stuff in normal tap water will cause algae blooms and mass diatoms, so yes to both bud

Apperently if you've drank tap water mostly before, drinking RO/DI is pretty miuch tasteless. Most people don't like it, since we've gotten used to the taste of the chlorine and stuff in the tap water. I tried it, tastes like air?. Probably good for you striaght from the RO/DI, I'm not sure about how good it would be after a few days of stuff getting in it. They don't add chlorine just for fun to our water, it's to stop bacteria growning.
