Better, cleaner tanks with healthier livestock.

The key here is to keep things as stable as possible. Reducing supplementation of carbon sources or media beds will have a larger negative impact on a stable system than simply switching to water that should have been used to begin with.

Let's put it this way; don't fix what isn't broken, and this isn't broken
