ThomasLC Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 My house is piped up to the city water and sewage. However the house still has a working well that is used to water the lawn (not to fill the pool as the people that manage the pool can not seem to keep the water parameters stable) With that in mind should I be using the well water for the tanks or the city water?

Scapexghost Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Depends on what kimnd of fish you get and the specific parameters of both potential water sources. Ideally the well water is hard and alkaline while the city water is soft and acidic, that way you could mix both to have whatever water parameters you want.

lefty o Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 depends whats in your well water, and city water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben_RF Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Well water and city water can very greatly. Consider testing both to know what you are working with. However, also realize you should be able to temperature control the city water in your setup. Adding water that is particularly cold during a water change may shock your fish.
