  1. Not entirely sure, but I'd buy spring water over RO. Consider an inline chloramine filter and fill some sort of reservoir. Buying water gets expensive real fast..

  2. You could just keep it simple and loosen soil with a gardening fork, compost, and amend with natural fertilizers (kelp, neem, crustacean, alfalfa meal, etc.) and rock dust. Then cover, wait a couple weeks and then get back to growing. If you really feel the need to use cover crops, this site has more good advice than I can give. cover crop site
  3. A handful or two of Red wigglers would be great. Nematodes will be present in compost, so start with good fresh compost, add compost teas during grows and top off compost between grows to provide all of the beneficial organisms needed. Making your own vermicompost is a good way to go. microbe organics is a great read. As far as beneficial bugs, it depends on what you're growing and if you're having any problems to begin with. No sense in swinging at what isn't there.
  4. One plant of what? A tree? How big is it going to get? 25 gallons seems a bit excessive for one of anything indoors. 5-7 gallons is what I'd consider minimal. I'd choose [raised planter beds](Geopot PL72X36X20 Raised Planter Bed, 72-Inch by 36-Inch by 14-Inch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008TVEVGG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_4aGezbQ85YYWB) if I were going that big/long term/no till/indoors. More stable than smart pots.

Hmm, I'd be shocked if one of us discovered a substance we could get at home that would create an as-of-yet-undiscovered precipitation reaction that would precipitate chloramine out of water! The reaction with citric acid you mentioned, is another one I now remember I've heard. All the points you make are right on, so if you figure something out, let us know! BUT the first step in my mind is finding a way to verify any potential results, so we're back to a cost effective way of measuring chloramine levels in a given water sample.

The cheap test strips for drinking water and aquariums seem to only test for chlorine (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FBMAVQ/)($13), and the expensive ones seem to indicate they CAN be calibrated to check for chloramine (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I4TFU1I/) ($1,099). This seems made specifically to test for chloramine, but it's unavailable (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00R3EF7ZY/).

I'll bet small quantities of citric acid are fine, and small amount of humic acids are definitely beneficial (humic acid is naturally occurring in compost and is great for soil). How much is too much, idk, since I don't add any directly/intentionally.
