The purple-capped distilled water from Walmart is fine, as my exploding snail population will attest. The other water is acceptable too, even if it does have a lot of extra stuff in it. To be extra sure, just get some "Cupri-sorb" type resin and put it in your filter along with the phosphate/silicate remover.
Well, I guess the other guys have already covered most everything. it's hard to make recommendations when we don't know just what you're shooting for, but I'm going to asume that you eventually want corals since you said so, which means you want a fullfledged reef tank.
Aw, nuts..I have to go to the post office. I'll be back soon.
