librarygirl said:A bit odd for 7 weeks, you should be further along by now. You say you're using well water and haven't used any dechlorinator: are you sure there aren't any heavy metals in the water? It might be useful to use a dechlorinator anyway just in case. Is there sufficient oxygen getting into the tank from either an air stone or from the filters splashing water into the tank? Seachem Replenish can be used, generally it's not needed as the minerals it adds should be in your water already but it won't hurt anything to use it and if it helps, all the better. The Angels Plus filter should help immensely as well but I'd also add dechlorinator just to rule out any potential issues with your water inhibiting the bacteria and making sure there's sufficient oxygen exchange in the tank. Let's hope we can get things moving!
I had well water when I had a 55 gallon tank and we still use to dechlorinate so I would try it any way. It can't really hurt I don't think.
