Hey everyone.
I have a 240 gallon African cichlid tank. About 2 years ago, I got a water softener in my house, the very first day I test the water and it showed 0 chlorine. So, logically I stopped using water conditioners and I've had no problem. Recently, I lost 2 adult male Haps. About a month ago I change the substrate from gravel to white sand, however I added turbo start to my water to add extra bacteria I was taking away from removing the gravel.
So my question is, are my fish getting sodium poisoning slowly over time from my water softener and if they are, should I start adding water conditioner again?
