I recently moved to a house that's on well water, long story short I dont really trust the water quality for my axolotl (brown water, high in iron etc...). So I transported her taking all of the tank water and filter material to the new house. Tank parameters seemed good the first day but now I think my cycle has crashed. I'm getting readings of 0 ammonia, 2ppm nitrite and 40ppm nitrate. I am also noticing a bacterial bloom going on with cloudy tank glass.
I know I need to do a water change but would mixing bottled spring water into the tank have any negative effects or do I need to keep transporting buckets of tap water from my parents house? I can get another bucket of tap water from my parents house tomorrow but it will have to wait until tomorrow, is this too long to leave the water at those parameters? Any help is appreciated!
