Lfs Confusing Me About Salinity

[WaterBender1995]

By "gunk" I meant salt and when I asked about your tap water I wanted test results not a guess.

I have tested my water and it is soft. I forget what I found it to be it was a long time ago

Actually Ferris, through a little research I discovered it gets even softer than that, this is from another thread I posted on.

Yeah i noticed that thread - the problem is i could post another 5 sites that give you completely different information. Bar going there (which i'd love to do some day) and taking some readings it's difficult to be certain but i put a great deal more faith in what i've read from the likes of Axelrod and Konings than information on any website. (including cichlidforum which is usually reliable but certainly not infallible)

That's cool, I do agree for the home aquarium it's best to have fairly hard water in order to keep your PH stable.
