How do you "soften water?"

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Do weekly water changes with distilled water from the grocery store. 20 litres costs $4.50 where I live. That would be enough for a 10% water change on your tank once a week. Monitor your hardness and stop using distilled water exclusively, when it gets to where you want.
 
Just do all your water changes from now on with ro/di water and you will have no more problems. You can buy it from kiosk's in front of grocery stores for about $.25 per gallon or buy your own unit for about $175.
