Well Water

[Raceimage]

Anyone else use well water? Mine goes through a RODI unit; however, my tank seems to get worse when I do water changes. I have been lax on water changes lately. Changed between 30 - 40 gal over a 2 day period and my hammer receeded within 24 hours after that. Several gas wells have been drilled within a mile from my house in the past 2 years. Since then, corals haven't been doing well. Little growth and new corals don't last long at all. I need to send both RO and tank water to get analyzed I guess.

I live in middlesex twp near mars high school and am on a well. The benift is that there shouldn't be any chorline in the water so you can just prefilter with 1 and .5 micro filters with carbon as the secound and/or third stage. Just doing that; after the ro membrane my TDS is at 5-15 ppm. If i run TDS filter it comes down to nill. As for your well everybodys water is different, there is a place in the cranberry industrual park by blade runners that tests water for everything and anything you could want. A bacterial test cost like 30 bucks and a full mineral test cost about 150. Thats a little pricey but it's not really that bad compared to other places; and it's 100% white coat professional.

Gary, I'm in NewKen. If you want to bring me some buckets, I can fill them for you. Do you have a TDS meter?

i recently heard the director of that documentary talking about the methane from there water. they failed to tell everyone in the documentary that the methane gas was in there water before they started drilling for gas:lol:
