more water problems

[mopani]

Completely moved in and want to move my tanks. Water tables are fine etc... But had a guy come out to do tests and my water has crazy amounts of sulfer and iron. My well needs a big filtration system. Would you chance the fish or will the two above kill the fish? These 2 power bills are killing me

Hello; many years ago I kept tanks with well water that had iron and some sulfur. I cannot relate the levels as it was never tested. My tanks and fish did well for over ten years.
The levels were enough to stain a porcelin tub. The odor was not usually notable.

I can only suggest a trial tank setup for a while to see how the water will affect things. You may have to adapt the type of fish kept to those suitable for the water.

Good luck.

I have a lot of iron in my well water. I bought one of those filters that you can hook up to the water line and some adapters so I could connect it to my python and filter the incoming tank water through it. works great.
