Where are you located? If tap water is safe for use. You can use tap water with the right dosage of water conditioner.

Freshwater setup not so strict like marine la. Conditioned tap water with the use of anti-chlorine will do

I believe for marine set up, it is also fine to use tap water with the required additives.

depends really. for some types of advanced marine systems, RO/DI water is heavily advised, some even say necessary.

OP: if you used to run a (i assume) complex reef in a 432, an arowana tank should be a piece of cake. good luck.

Interesting. First time I heard of this. Care to share why is ro/di heavily advised?

Yes, agreed. Fw arowana set up is much more simpler than big marine set ups.

anti chloramine is a must for tap water.
