I live in Pune outskirts. Water is super hard about 900PPM. I knew it when I started this hobby that it wont work. Installing RO is costly only for aquarium. So I bought a tank about 2 feet it requires about 40 liter water. Bottled water cost about 50 rupee for 20 liter but there is a trick. Bottled water hardness is very low in single digit. So I mix bottled water with my tap water to get about 150 PPM water. It cost about Rupee 50 per week so it’s not that costly. Also recently few home RO plants started in my area they are very cheap. They charge Rs.10 for 20 liter RO water.

[@MayurDevAquascaper]

Abhishek your judgement and planning is very systematic and good, as long as our system works, you should be fine, just test the water you are buying once to be sure

Mayur sir, love your videos and channel. you are educating so many hobbyists like me. I live in Hyderabad and I have hard water, because of which my aquarium is also getting stain lines and am not able to clean them up. So i started using drinking water supplied by municipality thru tap and filtering through regular aquaguard. I also put 10 drops of the blue liquid and 10 drops of chlorine remover when i change 30 percent water every week. However, ever since i started doing that, my fish seems to be getting some diseases often like recently anchor worms. Anything wrong i am doing.

[@MayurDevAquascaper]

Don't use blue liquid without need. Check your water parameters and try using good filter with good bio media. Try using eSHa alx.

Hi Mayur, I live in Bangalore, we use borewell water. I have kept planted tank for last 1 year using brightyk potassium and iron, ur very much right I was able to grow java ferns, anubias, crypt wendeti, but couldn't grow stem plants like rotala, Ludwigia or Altenthera rienikki. Recently at still water Aquatics I spoke with Stephen and bought brighty mineral as well. Some TC pots of stem plants, challenging task :) I've added seachem phosphate as well now. But I've been thinking when the basics (water) is from borewell then it wont really matter if i supplement ADA ferts, even soil from power sand to 9 ltr to powder sand all from ADA to buffer the chemicals. Totally fed up with this, im thinking of using my house RO filter water, it's a 7 stage filter which reduces hardness to 50ppm, but I'm in a dilemma as RO water is zero in minerals but less in calcium which makes Iron absorption good for rotala and Ludwigia red. Please advise

[@MayurDevAquascaper]

The trick is to mix Ro and bore water and bring the hardness to around 100 ppm and things will start working for you

Hi Mayur ji.. I'm from Pune and the water I get from PMC is Soft. Actually I have a question. Does boiling water removes permanent hardness (Sodium and magnesium ions) or just temporary hardness (bicarbonate or calcium ions)?

[@MayurDevAquascaper]

Boiling the water causes the precipitation of solid calcium carbonate or solid magnesium carbonate. This removes the calcium ions or magnesium ions from the water, and so removes the hardness. Therefore, hardness due to hydrogencarbonates is said to be temporary. Generally an increase in water temperature causes an increase in the solubility of most salts. exceptions like CaCO3, CaSO4, MgCO3, Mg(OH)2 all of which become less soluble as the temperature increases

Hi Mayur Dev Sir, If I use alum in a large bucket of water overnight, and then use that clean water in the planted tank (after removing the settled sediment/alum in bottom), will it be safe for planted tank? How does alum affect water chemistry? Does it make water soft or hard?

[@MayurDevAquascaper]

You can use it

Sir I m big fan of yours. I m from Murshidabad, Westbengal.. water is very very hard here.. when I started my planted first time I give up within 6months cause I have lost all mosses and plants then one hobbyist suggest me to use mineral water but it was costly but now I get a solution 'municipality water'. TDS of our tap water is nearly 750 , mineral water has 35 but our municipality water is 140-150. Can I do M.C carpeting.. cause I m planning to do a 50 gallon carpeting tank please suggest

[@MayurDevAquascaper]

The TDS seems ok in your Municipal water, you can start, but please make sure you start with good products, check out my setup videos it will help you

Hello sir , I live in Bangalore and at my place I have ground water or borewell water which is quite hard , certain places get Kaveri water which is treated with chlorine and I've used this water without treating it for several years and havnt had any issues with my fish , now can water with chlorine be used in planted aquariums? and can hard water be used in planted aquariums if water changes are done frequently or does hardwater help algae develop faster ?

[@MayurDevAquascaper]

Use a good dechlorinator before you use the water

I am from Madurai,Tamilnadu and my water TDS is 390ppm hard water. However I use RO water in my aquarium which is 16ppm. Sir, do you use only RO water or a mix of RO water and normal water for optimal TDS range. If remineralising RO water which commercially available product will you suggest as this is important for keeping shrimps.

[@MayurDevAquascaper]

A mix of RO water and normal water for optimal TDS range is a good idea and an ideal range of 50 is good for your tank ADA has the best fertilisers and water conditioners, for a planted aquarium, but there are a couple of sachem products also to help remineralise the water

[@n.rameez6665]

Mayur Dev - Aquascaper mayur sir, I have everything in the ADA range chloroff vitamix Soft water and clear water. But there’s no product to add back the calcium and magnesium and carbonate salts to optimum levels in the RO water in ADA as far as I know :(, this is why I am in a dilemma

Okay so I live in Pune, my society has two water options. One is regular tap water which comes 24 hours and is super hard. Second option is supposedly drinking water which comes twice for 2 hrs a day, now I initially trusted this water to be fine. After I did some test this drinking water was bloated with iron and chlorine and the hardness was pretty much there, I considered using water from my RO purifier, but the process becomes too time taking as the purification process of livpure is a little time consuming. Moreover then heating up the water a bit to bring it in the same temperature as of my tank was hectic too. So, what I did is I installed a water softner by Dr. Water in my washroom, and now I actually use the water directly from there, with pre heating possibility too because of my geyser. This is my hack for my little loves :)

Sir, I live in Dombivli, Thane dist. and I get soft water from Municipality. Also I have a query regarding adding salt to the aquarium. Some Hobbyists suggest to add rock salt to the aquarium every time during water changes. So, there is a little bit of confusion. Add karna thik hai ya nahi add kiya to bhi chalega....?? I have Flowerhorn and Angel Fishes in my tanks without any plantations. And abhi tak me thodasa salt add krta aya hoon during water changes. Whats correct...??

[@MayurDevAquascaper]

You can add rock salt, in your tank, it will act as an antiseptic and help to remove any pests, But add only about 30 gms for about 100 liters of water
