Where abouts are you based? Someone local to you on here maybe able to help you out with a small amount until yours arrives

They are not the same, although "distilled water" should be fine.

Distilled water would be a bad idea, except for topping up the tank. Unless you were going to add minerals back into the water.

Spring water is effectively the same thing as dechlorinated water, though every brand of spring water has different water stats (pH, hardness etc.) to each other and to your dechlorinated tap water.

With regards to dechlorinator, read this post: http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?showto...261519&st=0 .

So dont worry too much .

My parents used to use spring water in their tank all the time, no problems at all

A fairly expensive way of doing things though lol.
