Has any one had a problem with lime in there well water? This lady was asking a guy at a lfs and he said it didnt bother the fish. But all her fish keep dying and she thought it was the lime in the water? Any clues? I just thought it was interesting and i could really find anything about it.
 
Well water is notorious for having low to no DO levels. If added straight from the pump to the tank, there won't be sufficient O2 levels to support fish. It should be well aerated in a separate vessel before adding it to the aquarium.
