Nah! Wouldn’t do a thing like that! Look after the tank like its my own.
Saw a nice coral though - wonder if it might migrate….

Hopefully Dad hasn’t been holding a secret grudge all this time; otherwise, you might return home to discover 2 dead fish! lol j/k

Hi.
I’ve not come across “Glacierwater” before, so had a look at the website you provided.

So what about the cheaper route glacier water (www.glacierwater.com)? These are found at many retailers and claim that they not only use R\O, but also a number of additional filters (http://www.glacierwater.com/quality.htm) at 25 - 30 cents a gallon it is cheaper that a aquatic store, and many location are available 24 hours for those “oops” nights. Anyone have any thoughts? has any testing ben done on the true quality of this source (results would vary as it does use local water system to for it’s source)?

Comment on Water Hardness - What Is It? by John

John — Mon, 05 May 2008 18:14:27 +0000

Hello.
The fish you have in your system are saltwater fish. Saltwater is hard, that is what they require.
In a marine system, it is unusual for a need to arise to lower KH. Usually it is the other way round, a need to raise it, which is done with products with names such as alkalinity boost, KH booster, pH protector or similar. They are bicarbonates and carbonates.

What is your water measurement? KH or meq/l will do. If you do not have a test kit, you need an alkalinity one suitable for seawater.
