yeah, but if your planning on doing corals i would recommend adding RO water instead of plain tap water. if your not doing corals then keep an eye on your nitrate and phosphate levels so you dont get alot of algae growth. this unwanted algae growth will make alot of work for you. RO water isnt hard to get from an LFS store but it comes with a cost. getting your own RO/DI water will soon pay itself off. they are easy to setup but i would still have a plumber or someone with some know how set it up for you. just my .02 on the subject.
