Water Analysis
I finally harassed my Water Company into giving me a report. Would anyone
care to comment? I'm interested to know what everyone thinks. I'm especially
hoping Roger Miller will chime in about sodium. And what would create
bicarbonate levels like that? How would you "fix" this water for a South
American or Southeast Asian tank?
