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

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

[@MayurDevAquascaper]

Oh, a lot of people have messaged that in Kolkata the water is soft, what water are you using ?

[@nileshgreedharry]

I'm from Mauritius. It's hard or soft water from the tap varies throughout the year (mostly hard water). But there sure it lots of rainfall to cater for frequent soft water supplies.

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

[@maxcheers9394]

Can you please tell which ro system your using

Sir informative video.. i have small doubt. My anubias new leaves are white small, and curling downwards.. i have very softwater. When tested for drinking water purposes, It showed calcium - 4 ppm, mg-9 ppm, total hardness - 45 ppm(kerala,thrissur). Is it because of this anubias new leaves are white, small bending down. U said anubias prefers hard water. Or is it any other deficiency? Other plants are doing well.

[@MayurDevAquascaper]

I have a feeling the issue is your light and a possible potassium deficiency, but I am more inclined to the light I have made a video on plant didiciency please do check it out

@@MayurDevAquascaper I dont know, it was thriving for months with these light with no problems when i was using a branded fertliser, aquatic remedies.then I decided to try diy ferts and since then anubias were like this.

[@PrasannaSaiNunna]

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
