Hi everyone.
Lets see, in my tank when I fill it up with tap water, after a couple of days it goes cloudy.
I live in a very hard water area, Salisbury (wiltshire, UK). I believe the KH might be around 16 or more.
So I was wondering if more people suffer from this. Cause I could keep fish in this water specially livebearers but the cloudiness is quite a problem cause it ends up in the aquarium walls and stuck everywhere after some weeks.
Would this go away with good filtration (I havnt got much experience with this water). Could this be another substance?. The water looks very clear to start with. If I add a bit of an acid extract it goes away (this makes me think it might just be bicarbonates).
Are there other options apart from using RO water?. I know this acid doesnt harm the fish as long as you make good use of it, but its a bit of a pain to have to add it to your new water every time you are doing a water change.
Thanks beforehand.
