RO/DI is better, simply put. Distilled may still have some stuff in it, and depending on whether they used copper coils for the condensing, you could end up hurting more then doing any good.

This is the newbie forums, telling someone to search is not the correct attitude to have in here. If you don't want to answer the same question over and over again, maybe you should troll some other sections.

If I want to be flippant about it, I would have just said "search the forum" w/o giving any actual answer. The question is already answer in much greater detail elsewhere so why retype it.

So is every other question asked in this section. So why even bother having this section if everyone could just search?

Distilled in the battery
RODI in the tank.
Bottled for good whiskey.
Tap water for rot gut.

How could I make a Haiku out of that?

RO/DI is the best choice. If your in a jam distilled is preferred over tap. If your tank is small enough then buying water from a LFS may be an option. I tried this early on in my reef keeping adventure, but lugging buckets of water in snow and ice was not a fun time.
