Hello every one ;
I have been using a mixture of hot and cold water straight from the tap in to my 500 l tank ,i don't age my water since ph swing in 24 h is minimal ( tap ph is 7.1 after 24 hours ph 6.8 ) i add SAFE seachem to the tank prior to addition of water . Just recently i was talking to a friend who said that by using hot water i introduce copper and lead in to my tank which in long term these toxins will poison my fish . my hot water tank is made of stain steel but my hot water pipes are made of copper so the question is
. How many of you use mixture of hot and cold water ?
. How many of you use cold water only and rely on your heater to bring the temp up ?
. If you use cold water only what sort of temp difference are you happy with ?
. When you vacuum the poop from the the bottom of tank in a bucket and you replace the bucket do you bother adding PRIME OR SAFE or you don,t bother ?
Thanks for taking interest .
