I used tap water for a week and a half when i had to order a new RO unit. I was growing sour stomper in soil and one u
In coco. I let it sit for 24+ hours so it would off gas and stabilize, the leaves on my plants looked like they were dipped in corrosives. I dont think the water department, at least here, is very honest. I was breeding discus and a few other fish a couple years ago, id been doing it for a while, and had 15 tanks with fish in various stages. One day i went to change the water , and it was white and cloudy. My baby fish and eggs started dying, and the discus fish just started to slowly dissolve. It was awful. I measured the ph and ppm, ph shot up to over 9 and ppm was way high, they were up and down. I think they were flushing the water mains with sodium hydroxide or smthg similar. This went on for 10 days til all my fish were dead. I made many calls to the water department, they absolutely would not tell me the truth, they said they werent doing anything and my readings must be wrong. I drove around and found water department workers fucking with the pipes in the city, and took pics that i emailed to them, and pics of my fish covered in burns and falling apart, and said i should have been informed and wanted compensation. They still denied it, and i wasnt going to start a lawsuit that would go on forever and eventuallu lose. The water has never been right since then, the ph and ppm are still alot higher than before. i started another aquarium, and the fish in it are stunted and dont breed, i guess ill have to get a huge filter unit if i want to start doing it again. Anyway, i dont think you can trust any form of government, theyll always lie and do whats best for them, i use RO water for my plants and to drink
