hi all,just managed breed angels here in stoke,water is so bad,i used rain water filterd with carben,do you think they would hatch in tap water if it was filterd through carbon,the water is so hard here,i have read that they will hatch in hard water thanks |

just keep an eye on the ph when using ro
i didn't and could have payed for it. checked it earlier as some of the discus were not happy ph of 4 yes 4!!!!!! had a ph crash 
i have not lost any fish 
but dont ask me how have been changing water all day(slowly)have got the ph back up to 6.5 i will pay more attention in future as it could have been a very costly mistake i will be reading up on using ro water+ how to buffer it against crashes  |

There are different additives to put back in RO water , i used tropic marin and this was very good, it also spurs fish into breeding but more importantly stabalizes the water. |
