hi all i live in mass and have a artiesion well that has very hard water with a high iron content. i have a water softener and iron filter for the whole house. i can only bypass both. what would be the best thing for me to do for water for my tank? thanks

Mass is a great place to live!

Lived there for 25 years....
My fist thought is to buy RO water from an independant manchine. They are usually ouside healthfood stoes. It runs about 1.25 for 5 gallons. Nice and easy.
2nd get a RO machine off that popular web site that rhymes with "day".

if you're more on the eastern side of MA, Uncle Ned's Fish farm (millis, MA on rt.109) sells RO water for $.50/gal....you just have to bring your own container.
