According to several authorities both fully soft water and municipally softened water would have no undesirable or toxic effect for use in an aquarium.<\/p>\n<p>When making the change from hard to soft water, it is necessary to make the substitution on a gradual stepwise basis of new water for old. This follows the basic pattern in regard to any change in the environment for tropical fish. This applies to temperature, pH of water, food as well as to hardness. Drastic changes, of course, would constitute a shock to the delicate systems of such fish and would result in fatalities.<\/p>\n<p>Preferably replace about one-fourth of the aquarium water at weekly intervals with soft water. Eventually, the aquarium will have a supply consisting of essentially soft water and the fish will suffer no ill effects as a result of the change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":44,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"faq_category":[173],"class_list":["post-737","avada_faq","type-avada_faq","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","faq_category-water-treatment"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atipure.com\/store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/avada_faq\/737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atipure.com\/store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/avada_faq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atipure.com\/store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/avada_faq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atipure.com\/store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atipure.com\/store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=737"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atipure.com\/store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/avada_faq\/737\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atipure.com\/store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"faq_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atipure.com\/store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ffaq_category&post=737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
