re: mixing water



Doesn't a 'water softener' exchange Ca ions with Na ions and thereby just
increase water conductivity as in micro-siemens?  Might not this be worse
for sensitive fish than just using a little bit of unsoftened tap water?  I
would just add regular 'on tap' to get the hardness you are after.  Check
www.thekrib.com to see if they have more info.  I've gotten a lot of help
from the material on their site.
