Aquarium Advice Activist
I was interested in brining back my aquarium hobby. I have had my tank in storage for about ten years. I use to live in an area with softwater, but
I have moved out to an area that has municipal well water. I have a water softener. My water coming out of my faucet has low 10 GH but high + 200 kH. Will the salt from the softener hurt the fish? I have a 29 gallon tank and I would love to keep fish that prefer soft water ( loaches, angel fish, tetras). Is there some way I can keep these fish with my water? or do I have to go with fish that can handle hard water?
