first reef, is tapwater safe in a starter nano?

I'll second Andy's comments, reef central is great but obviously oblivious to local conditions and there is a bit of a tendency to toe the old party line at times.

Tap water has never caused me any obvious issues with my fish only tanks and I've been keeping corals in it for about 2 years now. I've never taken a shot at any really demanding stuff but I know of a few people who have had some success with SPS in tap water as well. I'm not sure if any of that was the really picky stuff though.
