I have an old well in my house that I really do not use since I converted to city water a year ago. I got the idea to run some tests on the water today and see what it looked like, here are my results:
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 0
dKH - 35!
dGH - 46!!
pH - 6.7
One problem that I can see is the high level of Iron and some H2S. This sounds a lot like the liquid rock that I keep hearing about. I'm planning on setting up a test tank to see how it works out.
The hardness levels are so far out of typical range that I do not trust them. Taking a sample to work to get real tests done.
Any thoughts or issues you can see with using this water for a planted tank?
