At my house we have a special faucet that filters tap water until it becomes RO water. I am wondering if it is good to fill my tanks up with RO water. Could anyone shed light on this topic, I would really appreciate it. Thank you all, and have a nice day.
 
Personally speaking, you want water that's got some dissolved minerals which can be beneficial to your livestock, plants and even BB. Plus those minerals help to buffer your tank helping to keep the pH from big swings which can kill the above mentioned.
 
The faucet is connected directly to a filter, the faucet only runs RO water, it can't run tap water. Because of this there are two faucets at the sink. I hope this poor explanation helps.
