Aquarium Advice Newbie
I just moved back to my childhood home and now have well water rather than city water. I also now have room to set my aquariums back up! Now the question; I know that I should not use softened water in the tanks but I am also concerned about using the hard water from the well. The hardness doesn't concern me as much as the the well water seems to have a high level of Iron. We generally have to use some "Red Out" salt to keep the water crystal clear. Will the iron content be a problem for the livestock? Should I consider using bottled water instead? Other options?
I still need to pick up a test kit and find out exactly what the numbers are but I am trying to come up with alternate ideas ahead of time in case the well water is not going to work out.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
