Snow In My Tank

[Ludwig Venter]

Oh! so wonderfull... I watched the tank and it turned all murky for two day, & then it turned as crystal clear as ..... well..... Crystal.... Tonight I braved another (scew) guppy fry in there and he was happy (as a fish in water)... I have now removed him and put a prize specimenn in the tank with 3 females... I've never seen my Guppies happier... Aircon (dripoff) water can work!

I can't see snow being a whole lot different from rain water. One thing I might be concerned with using the water from an AC unit would be any metal contamination from the evaporator. These contain a considerable amount of copper & aluminum, they are prized by the junkers around here who do recycling.

I will obviously keep an eye on the tank to ensure my Guppies remain happy and no-one steals my water/copper or aluminium.... (in SA, any of those are possible).

A good dechlorinater will neutralize any heavy metals if that's an issue.

That's one of the things I like about keeping fish you never know if its going to work until you try nice one Ludwig

You do not understand Tolak!!!... here in SA, they steal the metals from my water.... No need for dechlorinators or that type of things!
