I have well water and I'm on a water softening system for the house (it is necessary as the water is very hard and really not usable without the softener). I am very concerned about how this water will be for my discus (I'm cycling a couple of tanks and will be purchasing discus in the next 2 weeks or so).
I am currently using Sodium Chloride in the softener but I can use Potassium chloride if this would be better for the discus.
I am purchasing an RO unit, so I'm wondering if it is safe to use any of the water out of the softener to add back to the water once it is through the RO or whether i should just use RO water with a product like RO Vital.
Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to bypass the softener and get water directly from the well, the way the system is setup.
