lake water in tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
A lake clean enough to drink from, absolutely no treatment? Sounds like a beautiful spot could we see pics?
 
ill take some pics tomm from our place but here are some general ones of the lake

this is an arial shot taken about directly over where we are. this is looking north.

Just throw in some chemicals to kill any parasites in the tank and if you cant find any just make sure you have parasite medications on hand
 
maybe if i can take a few shots of the lake looking into the seaweed and fish life youll see how clean and healthy everything is. i would take the water in plastic bins every weekend when i go up in the spring and fall. during the summer i dont do it. all that happens to the water is it goes through a particle filter to get bits of seaweed out and things like that. nothing chemical at all. just a pad the water flows through.

Why would you want to use lake water? Do you see any benefits from doing this?

one more thing... the water would pre-cycle the tank. i also find many plants almost identicle to the ones i see in pics here on MFK. so i dont see how different the water can be. all the difference is tempurature. if that. the water is 78F right now anyway.
