Just curious. I have a nurse in the family going on and on about how stupid our community is for voting against the government adding fluoride to our tap water. I said she is only looking at one point of view, that people are looking at more than just health concerns, like being worried about any additives in the water, and potential impacts to fish keeping, livestock, pets, etc. I have heard people stress about additives in the water, but was not sure if there could be any impacts.anyone know? Do you have additives in your tap water? Is anything different?
You want to always be sure that the water you add to the tank is the same temp as the water in your tank. So yes, to do this you will need to adjust the temp of the water from your tap. Use your hands to temp check between the tap and the tank and go from there. You want to be sure you always do this as adding too hot or two cold will shock your fish. Their nervous systems are pretty delicate and a sudden change in temp can kill them.
It hasn't heart harmed my fish at all.
Helen is an idiot. There are products out there that will make tires shine but they will also make them slick as glass. I suggest that you not mess with the tires unless your willing to assume the risks of doing so.
Hi. I'm no expert on what effects it would have on other animals but I may shed some light on what additives we have where I live that make a difference to my aquarium water. Fluoride occurs naturally in many public water supplies. The average amount added to Melbourne Australia's (where I live) water is less than 1 milligram per litre, that's like a grain of sugar in a cup of water. We also have chlorine and chloramine added to our water supply, so for our aquarium water we use chemicals to remove them, making it safer for our aquarium fish. The PH, GH and KH like many other country's need adjusting if keeping hard and alkaline or soft and acid species of fish. Our water supply is near OK if your keeping a community tank but you still need to use the water conditioners. Not sure if I have answered your question or not, Sorry.
