Bottled Water Or Tap?

[Squidman]

What is better to use if they are both fine for fish tank use?

I'm just a newbie, but I know I read that tap water is better than bottled water as bottled water has had much of the nutrients depleted (basically, it's just "empty" water, nothing at all in it but a clear liquid, lol). But I know you can add bottled water to regular tap water, you just can't use ALL bottled water in a tank. But I encourage the pros to correct me if need be, lol

Simply boiling water will kill biological contaminants such as bacteria, parasites and viruses. Boiling water will not get rid of salts, heavy metals, or other chemicals which may be present in the water. In fact, many are left behind. As the pure water evaporates into steam, the water left behind in the kettle becomes MORE concentrated with contaminants
