Hi
I’m after a bit of advice again (sorry but it all seems to be take and no give at the moment). I am in the middle of setting up a couple of tanks and re joining the fish keeping fold after a long absence so I am not up on modern practices . I am going to use partial under gravel filters using the power heads on reverse flow, (a new concept to me, partial to allow plants to grow) combined with external filters but now live in a hard water part of England and was wondering if there was a way to condition the water before filling the tanks. I would use rain water but I am unsure about the pollution etc. I fancy a tank based on Discus and possibly a community tank.
