We live in a small town outside of our capitol city. We're on a well, but I have heard we have better quality than them. I bought a BRS 5 stage plus system a few years ago, just haven't hooked it up until now.

I don't believe Chloramines, fluoride. I do not know what the township adds to the well, if anything ?

I would appreciate any of you to click on the link below to help me read the results to see if we need anything added to our filtration or if anything stands out to be potential issue for our fish & corals.

Thank you,
Kevin

Your request isn't clear, and the second link doesn't work.

However, looking at the water report, there is , trace amounts of copper, lead and fluoride, as well as some radium. Amongst others in the report, I definitely would not want these in my tank.

Look at the "Range" column in the report, this shows you the range of each substance in the samples they collected.
 
Hum, the link works for me ?

As far as the trace amounts of copper, lead, radian and fluoride.
Is copper and lead common in any small town's and cities ?
I know that our town does not add fluoride as it's too expensive, so I don't know why it's on the report ? As far as I know, the township voted against adding it. I'll have to investigate this.

Does our RO/DI remove these ?

Is it your google account? Either way, it asks for permissions... Please make it 'view-able to all with the link' if you still require information regarding that document.

The "Likely source of contamination" column kind of answers this question...

I don't know about your model specifically, but the short answer is yes...

It’s funny. I just looked at my water quality repot and it looks totally different. Our water is generally recognized as being fairly crap.
