Yea you can do it with tap but filtered water makes the lc clearer.

I use tap for everything these days. I messed around with distilled in the first weeks of the hobby, and haven't looked back.

Really, the extra minerals in tap are probably better (especially for an LC, which has no other source of minerals) than distilled.

I use tap for everything with the exception of when I don't feel like doing the balancing act all the way to the sink to fill up the cool mist so I just bring the Brita pitcher in there to top it off

Tap Water:thumbup:

But for my misting my FC, I allow my tap water to sit a day inside the fridge to allow some of the chlorine and chemicals to dispel a bit. No one has told me to do this but it can't hurt.:shrug:

You're supposed to do that to the water for Indoor Plants.
