I use tap water in leduc(supplied by ed). I do have minor algae problems that have not gone away with pelets, prodi bio, or now zeo. My. New makeup water usually tests .04 to .06 with a hanna meter. My tank tests 0 to .02 usually. I run carbon in my mixing tank and used to run phosphate remover but ran out. Looking to get a household sized ro, and di for the fish at some point soon. All corals and fish look ok, sps are couloring up better on the zeo but still not the best yet.

I use ro/di and fill a 33 gallon pail, with an air stone and heater for water changes. I fill it after every water change to be ready for the next one.

Our TDS here in Metro Vancouver reads 12ppm on my TDS meter. Yet I still use RO/DI filtration. But it only cost me under $150 for the unit, so it was a no brainer.
