Filtered Water?

Hey all,


Getting back into Freshwater with live plants (high tech) am wondering what the feeling is about filtering water in Fairfax, VA (western). In the past, for a reef tank, I used RO/DI. What is suggested?

Thanks!

I use water with dechlorinator just fine. Maybe the dechlorinator even has the advantage of also dealing with heavy metals which I don't think carbon filters are 100% reliable at. Though the carbon filter has the advantage of less sodium and not having to worry about excess dechlorinator crashing oxygen levels.
