Well water safe?

[saul831]

Hi, i need some input... i have my own water well. the water does not get any treatment, and was just tested and deemed good to drink : ) the water is housed in a metal tank... my question is if i should i filter my water before i use it? or should it be ok to use with out any filtering? what test can i run to make sure it doesn't harm anything in my aquarium. Any in-put would be appreciated.

Thank you

You should run the water through an RO/DI system, it will cut down on nusiance algae significantly

Well water is notorious for being full of components that will feed algae and poison inverts.
