Hi all,
The house I am looking at moving to has a water softener placed between the house's water main and all of the house's internal pipes. I remember vaguely from when I lived in the states that a water softener uses salts ? to soften the water, so that the water is poisonous to plants. I am looking for input about how this would affect an aquarium. The few posts I have been able to find on the forum have suggested curcumventing the water softener. This leads me to think that it would indeed be poisonous to newts, too - correct?
