I am in charge of creating AND maintaining a 150gal Malawi tank for a high ranking public official in my city. The big problem...ALL CITY WATER SOURCES! Blaaa...I'm so used to Well-water fish tank maintenance that I wouldn't know how to safely maintain a city water-fed tank setup.
-What would be the most efficient way to go about prepping water for my water changes and cycling with city water?
-Would I not have to place chemical in the new water prior to the change?
-If I used air-bubble dechlorination how long would I have to leave the air stone in the 5gal jug before the water would be safe to use?
-If the city water is not hard is there a chemical or process to make the water hard enough?
-If I used a spring water delivery company what type of water would be best for this tank and would I have to use any chemicals in the Spring water prior to use? (I heard NOT to use Distilled Water with fish. Any opinions on this?)
I look forward to your input. :thumb:
