Leak test

[JMorris271]

Can I use just regular well water to run my tank for a week or so to leak test or must I use RODI water?
It would be drained out before filling with treated RODI water after rock is laid out. Opinions please.

Thats fine, I do my leak test outside filling it with a hose, draining and just wipe it down with paper towels.

Yeah tap water is fine for a leak test.
