Yes that is what I am asking. Again I am sorry for asking so many questions just want to get things done right. And do you think these filter socks would be of any benefit for tap water? I am still really deciding what water I want to use I've been thinking about it.

I don't see anything listed as just 1 micron only 100 on Ebay that's why I am asking because I mostly buy on there

Okay so then the 100 would be what I want or not ? Again apologize for the questions so much and would those work also with tap water let's say I choose to set up a hard water tank would those socks be of any benefit for me using tap water? I am so mixed up honestly with what I want to do and...

Okay would that mean 100 micron also or just 1? I'm sorry probably a stupid question I guess but new to all this and have a hard time understanding. I see the 100 microns I can get

Hi do you have a link to one of those type of socks your referring to? I looked and only found a reef filter sock is that what you mean? How many microns? Sorry so many questions just want to get this right.

What do you mean by useless? Are you referring to like parasites? Yeah I definitely miss understood that. Yeah I went with spring water I talked with my cousin and she's kept angelfish and other fish in that water. I know for a fact though uv sterilizer work with green water because I used...

Lol I am confusing everyone but sorry. I am just going to try spring water and see how it goes. I guess I should have put more time in my comments explaining myself better. Honestly I was very undecided what to do so I just thought I would try spring water and see.

Well I bought a uv sterilizer unit rated for a 50 gallon tank to use with the spring water to kill parasites pathogens. Should I use it all the time ?

Right, so I can just use straight reverse osmosis water for soft water fish? I thought it would have to have mineral content or is the mineral content needed for like freshwater planted tanks? Thanks for your help

I completely understand and I appreciate your help. Now I do have a Reverse Osmosis system that I used a few years back for my salt tank but could this be a better idea? I know that they remove all mineral content and everything like that but would there be a way to reintroduce mineral...

Hmmm I'm thinking about how I could boil that much water honestly. The extra fine micron sock will they work in a hang on the back filter? Like use in the filter area? I'm thinking maybe setting up a tank or tub with water change water in it or maybe something like a can deal to store it in...

Hi yes I could do larger water changes on it. I honestly wasn't even going to get back into it but I just miss fish keeping. Yeah this water comes from a underground source. Water comes out of a hillside and people gather it up. I am thinking maybe about giving those little neon tetras a try...

Yes spring water will be what I use. I honestly truthfully am not sure to be honest with you what the hardness for either water source is but I will let you know. I am going to take a sample of the spring water down and have him test it. I will also buy one of the api test kits but the ph one...

Okay sorry for the confusion here I have a hard time with explaining myself. I used to keep Oscars back several years ago and during that time we had a ph of 7.6 right out of the tap. Well I don't know why in the world they did it but they put us on a different water source with a ph of...

Oh and by hard water I was referring to my tap water sorry for any confusion.
