when Changing water

Mix the tapwater with seasalt..

When topping up water due to evaporation

Just add tapwater...

some LFS also sell seawater but quite a hassle to carry home in jerry cans.

Using tapwater and not DI water itself will not kill yr corals...yr corals are dead likely due to other water parameter factors. It is just that DI water is preferred over tapwater esp for reeftank.
