Anyone using water softened tapwater in their reef?

Still not getting into any aspect of the great RO vs. tapwater debate. Find another thread for that, guys

Yup, thought of that - the outdoor taps will not be plumbed into the water softener.

It's not a debate of which water is better but the answer was posted a few threads back the water softener is probably not good to use on reef tanks, so what I was saying is why go half and half, either you use Ro or don't....

I just got my RO yesterday, I think the unit is about $129~ I personally havent hooked up yet, but its on the honey do list for the weekend, I can't wait to see how things change from using a mix of tap and RO, to straight RO
personally, I would get the RO unit then you dont need to mix with tap water thus reversing the effects of RO.
hows the tank doing BTW Bev?
