I would not recommend tap water. Phosphates you want to be 0 because they cause algae issues. Also, there could be dissolved minerals in the water...
I used to have a tank that wasn't "reef ready" and I tried many ways to get a working, efficient overflow. Eventually I got sick of it and upgraded...
How big is the tank? I have a 210 gal. system and it evaporates about 25 gal. a week in winter because it is so dry here...

I have been having major algae issues in my DT because someone suggested switching from 420/460 dual actinic bulbs to dual 6500/10000 daylight bulbs....
Found the pics! Your other thread does not include pics... It looks like a good start! Can't wait to see the progress in the future.

+1 newreef, I always get as much info. on here as possible before going to the LFS. I rarely ask them questions because like you said, I get...

Have a very large skimmer, only feed the fish once every week or two (has never been a problem feeding that schedule) refugium has cheato but I...
Would you recommend getting rid of both bulbs and going back to only 420/460 actinics? Or do you think going one of each will be good? I hate to...

Most of the problems you will experience with Mac's are hardware problems. The software is easy to use and rarely has issues. The only software...
