Thanks for the input guys. i have the RODI going as I type. I have never had any algae problems in any of my previous tanks. i guess I can attribute that to always using RODI water. Patience is a virtue, especially in this hobby.

been using my tap water for a long time with no ill effects..algae come from ro/di or tap water, ive used both on many of my tanks..it takes more then just ro/di water.
just check the water in your area. my lfs uses tap water and has for 20+ years in reef tanks!
just my experience.
