I use water straight from the well for my little aquarium setup. For water changes I fill a 5 gallon bucket and let a simple box filter filled with filter floss run in it for several hours and that clears it up well before adding to a tank.


Bill,

You remove iron pretty much the same way I do, but I do it with larger volumes of water for my small scale RAS's in the basement. I remove even more by adding another barrel and moving the siphon to the other barrel when the iron is removed from one barrel.

Note: the filter pads aren't necessary. The netting is sufficient.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
