[AquaticLife] house water, aquariums and a hatchery in Area 51
What is the name of the “next town over”? I’m sure a Google of that town name and “tropical fish” would disclose the name/location of the hatchery…. presuming they do business over the net.
As far as your water, if you are going to use the completely filtered water, you should probably add a supplement to the tank. Something like “Kent’s R/O Right”. It’s 30% off at DrsFosterSmith.com right now. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+4395+4128&pcat id=4128 They sell a liquid formula also.
If you go without the filtered water, just make sure you use a dechlor product that also treats heavy metals. I normally use API’s Tap Water Conditioner but PetsMart didn’t sell the 16 oz size so I checked out all the things they did sell and PetsMart’s brand, TopFin Tap Water Dechlorinator was comparable to API.. possibly even made by API. They are both more concentrated than some of the other brands so it only takes 1ml per 10G where some other brands use 5ml or even 10ml per 10G.
