We will moving into our new house in Dec. and already in the water filtering stage . I've order x2 20" Big Blue Whole House Filters with 1 - 5 micron and 1 - Carbon Block and talking to someone for a High Efficiency Water Softener .
Should I do a by-pass before the filters for aquarium tanks and use a holding tank and age the water? The water is very Hard and the Sodium and Chloride is high also, How can I fix this and make it useable for aquarium use?
