Yes, like the post said before, you can do it I had my 60 gallon going with tap for the longest time, ALGAE was everywhere, so said very nicely by KahluaZzZ. Your best bet is to go out and buy those 5 gallon jugs that you refill and go with the bottled water. It will only run you about 1.50$ to fill the thing up. I have also heard that using other water like tap (not chlorinated) and well could possibly lead to other problems to, cant say for sure but I have heard of it. Good luck with it though….. *PEACE!*
or you could buy an RO unit...in the long run its probably the best/cheapest solution
but, your tap might be ok...mine is...would need a water report to check PO4, nitrates, heavy metals, etc to know for sure
in terms of minerals and electrolites you don't need to worry about that, your salt mix should replace most if not all the goodies the distililng process would take out

Reef crystals by instant ocean is supposed to neutralize a good % of heavy metals and chlorine. No liquid water softener needed.
Another good thing about reef crystals i like : more calcium than in standard instant ocean. Finally the couple bucks more are worth it.
Well...i'm out of salt..gotta buy some more.
