    Water analysis, ro/di required?

    I'm moving from Newcastle in a couple of weeks and I want to avoid any surprises for my discus when we arrive in Campsie.

    This appears to be Sydney Water's relevant analysis http://www.sydneywater.com.au/WaterQ...sHill_2011.pdf

    The pH out of my tap in Newcastle is neutral, but it's reportedly higher in Sydney.

    Should I be purchasing an ro/di unit before getting to Sydney or will I be probably be fine dechlorinating and ageing the water in barrels myself without extra equipment?

    Thanks for any help, Ben.[/url]

    you should be fine dechlorinating the water and maybe adjusting the pH down to neutral for the first few weeks.

    if you can transport enough water down with you to 1/2 fill your tank and then you shouldn't have any issues.
