So I know I'm a bad member here but I think I have cooled off. I have a problem with keeping fish. I love salt water but it's just a pain in the butt keeping up with it. I have to juggle that and school. Changing water isnt that hard but having to drive and get it and check the chemicals is just time consuming. I love my nano reef now but I would like to in the future just keep a FOWLR tank or just a tank with a substrate and some salt water fish. I know I have asked this but can I keep a salt water tank with tap water? If not then how can I make it to were I can use tap. I'm not buying an RO DI unit.

You've already decided against ro/di so the only other option is tap.

I have seen tap work with FOWLR system, but the keeper was constantly battling algae. I imagine with the correct livestock and lighting it could be better managed and possibly eliminated. It will just take time and research.In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

On a FOWLR system carbon filtered tap is fine. You shouldn't have to check params on your tank after its going. I never check params after the first couple of weeks.

On a high end system I might until its running. But after that no use. I didn't test my nano.
