Re: [Killietalk] hatching SAA

Last week I threw a bag of 8 month old rubrocaudatus peat into the tap
water (aged) from our new place and there are several hundred of the
little buggers swimming around now. It's a little softer than yours, 60
PPM, but pretty darn alkaline at around 8 and a half (I suspect
carbonates in there). They didn't seem to mind the tap water.

Subject: [Killietalk] hatching SAA

I've hatched out annuals quite a few times many years ago and it's never
a problem getting enough DI/RO/whatever water for the job, but is
standard untreated tap water going to give me any trouble hatching, say,
constanciae or whitei?  My hardness is about 100-120 ppm.  Since in the
case of most annual habitats it's the water table rising to fill the
pond, I'm guessing coastal species like that won't care too much about a
higher TDS at hatch time.  Like I said, it's no sweat getting some DI,
but can anybody out there say for sure that tap water like mine will be
no problem whatsoever?  

thanks,

Dave S.
