Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Heya,
Have a issue and could really use some advice.
Just moved to a new place and after testing the tap water before moving and setting up my tanks I found the water to be . 8.4ph .50ppm ammonia. .0 nitrites and 10 nitrates. called the water co and they are adding ammonia to be water to combat bacteria .
My old tap water had the same ph, but without having a RO system available to use in my apartment I am looking at using bottled waters as I am afraid the high lvl of ammonia will kill my fish. They are moderately planted tanks. Should I mix the bottled with tap for the minerals to help keep a stable ph?
