distilled water - should I add aquarium salt?

[Oreganoodle]

I've started using distilled water after learning that my local water had .5 ppm of ammonia in it - which even though my tank is cycled my fish did not seem to like.   I've added crushed coral to the tank, but my KH is still a little low (3 drops), I've used Equillibrum to get the GH to 9 drops.  What I am not sure of is if I should also be adding aquarium salt?  The tank is has only platties in it.

 

Thanks!

The salt will not really hurt anything, but I’m not sure it’s be necessary. I would guess your fish are fine so be careful chasing numbers. The most important thing is consistency so whatever you do it’s important to replicate it on a regular basis. Make the maintenance easy on yourself! 
On a side note, you might just let the tap water sit out a while and degas, add some dechlorinator and test again. It’s prob not as bad as you your testing.
