After my boyfriend gets his tax return back, we will be buying a whole house water softener. After a year of watching house plants die and buying cut flowers only to have them die within a day, we believe that our well water needs serious adjusting. My biggest concern with getting one is obviously my fish.
Is there anything in particular with the water softener that I need to look for or avoid?
How heavily will the softener change my pH and gH?
What is the best method to adjust my fish to the change?
Can I have saltwater fish and corals on softened water?
I'm hoping the softener won't change things to drastically, I have a group of fish 2 weeks into quarantine that I just did the research on to actually match the fish to my water. I'm going to be gutted if these fish are suddenly not going to be capable of thriving in the conditions that I will be getting.
