What do you think of this:
We're always fighting our water. We have very hard well water. For
drinking and for our fish tanks we have an RO unit. For washing and
bathing we have a water softner. I was just thinking, though. Untreated,
this water is loaded with Fe and CO2. Aside from the pH change you get
from leaving our untreated water out for a day or two, iron settles out of
it.
Rather than fighting the water I have been thinking about taking advantage
of it. What if I set up a planted tank with a very small continuous water
change. Maybe just a partial daily water change? Freshly pumped out of the
ground this stuff would have to be great for aquatic plants. Cut out the
Iron supplement, cut out the CO2 supplementation. . . . Thoughts?
TIA,
Dirk
