Tap water filter for large freshwater aquarium.? - low tech planted tank
As has become the time of shit here in Pennsylvania, the water treatment plant was shipping water at home I'm really crap. It smells good and tastes, and I could swear there is no possibility of life in that which is undesirable. I have about 300 gallons of freshwater fish in my house, and I want to filter the water so that a little to open up.
Since I so much to have to change the water at the same time, a reverse osmosis filter, so it seems (from what I read) is too expensive and too slow for my needs.
You are in high-tech filters that are designed to improve my quality of the water a little low. I see things that I regret the chemical reduction of chlorine tablets into the tank from home, but I'm afraid of chemicals without knowing that the product is safe for fish.
I have to breathe air into giant catfish, so I do not really need, would be detrimental to the quality of water as a fan of salty water. I just need that was not as terrible as it is now. And I need about 150 gallons every two weeks in ashot.

Low Tech Planted Tank Tap Water Filter For Large Freshwater Aquarium.?

However, by knowing a filter, which really helps to know what they are trying to remove water, more specifically, that "only undesirable".
An activated carbon filter would come out a lot of bad taste and odor. If you use one of these programs, you must follow the timetable for replacing the carbon. I know people who have not changed their cartridges over the years, and if your filters are not only do the dirtiest water.
You're right, not a good idea to use a filter, which is not designed for use with water aquarium use. For example, most "water softeners" was sold for the exchange of sodium ions into the home for calcium ions, which in general, the water worse, not better, for freshwater fish.
You can get a filter deionization for about $ 40 to $ 50, using the ion exchanger and a lot of bad tap water. However, this filter cartridge (for approximately 100 liters) costs about $ 20 to $ 30 each, this approach is not too cheap (but TSIcheaper than bottled water more LL).
If you only need 150 gallons every two days, reverse osmosis can be provided an option for you, you have the space to store 150 liters of water, somewhere. The ro units cheapest I've seen about 25 liters per day and costs about $ 100 to $ 150 to produce. A 100 gallons per day unit costs about $ 300 to $ 400 A unit of 200 liters per day is about $ 100 more. The other thing you need a reverse osmosis is a type of memory to filter water before pumping into the tanks to collect and share a place in the tank.
In fact, any type of large catfish air you breathe? That sounds great. I have several species of Synodontis.
If you really believe that life or micro-macro in water and can prove that you have huge demand in the hand against the city of Pennsylvania. The city needs drinking water, untreated. This is the national law of the water.
If water quality is good enough for human consumption should be good enough for the fish.
If the valve is trying really ugly, can melt snow in a bucket of water. Low-tech reverse osmosis filters can not act alone. Carbon filters will do nothing as the water may be contaminated. With power outages and lack of water should be boiled or chlorinated and then add dechlorinator and probably a ton of it,
