Distilled water would most likely complicate your aquarium parameters as it has no minerals in it at all. Distilled isn't a straightforwardly simple replacement for tap water, at any rate.
Interestingly enough Connie and I have been drinking distilled water for years now. We get our tap water from our own well, and there is a noticeable "sludge" left over after the distillation process. Certainly a lot of limestone in the water from our well causing the majority of that sludge, since this area is riddled with limestone which the ground water flows through.
