Rainwater tank water changes in Australia

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
A few months ago in the paper, a LFS about 20 minutes north of me lost 900 odd fish in a 2 week period due to a change in the water which was unannounced to the public. He lost thousands of dollars in assests.
 
Yes I have owned several shops and have several fish rooms with large and small tanks, swim pools and ponds. I am familiar with the problems. :)

Several thousand dollars in assets? That could be just one fish in OZ.
 
Bahahaha yeah! A few 12" Jardini cost more then the average households pay check for the week. This one LFS was a more rainbowfish, small cichlid, planted tank sort of shop. No biggin's.
 
I remember seeing an article, about a lady who was breeding some kind of freshwater fish but with a low ph.. and the problem she was having was a really high water bill when she ran the ro unit.. so what she did was, she got a bunch of plastic drums and had them outside against her house lined up and all plumbed together. then when it would rain, the rain would come off her roof and into the gutter and into the drums... Then the water went threw a window into her basement, where she had more plastic drums.. once the water was down in the basement, she had a pump that would run the water threw a filter, and then a UV sterilizer.. and she had a bunch of water to put into her tanks..

me personally i don't think i would do this, but I'm sure during the spring and fall months (rainy season) it could bring does the water bill quite a bit...
