Water Report for my Area

[Kyle Sicard]

Hello Randy,
I was about to look up the process for how to request a water report for my home's water supply till I found this during a quick google search.

If I understand it correctly does this mean I don't need to request a water report and wait for it to be mailed? This water report is for my county of where I live and I believe it tells me what I need to know. I just wanted to check to see if they use chloramines to treat the water and it looks like they only use standard chlorine and not chloramines. I figured I would post on this forum and ask to make sure I understand it properly.

That is correct, they appear to use chlorine and not chloramine.

Thank you very much, that is good news.

You're welcome.

Happy Reefing.

While I have you I do have one last question. At what level nitrates would you consider them to be harmful to specifically LPS corals, such as Acans, Scolymia, and Euphyllia? Would you consider levels of 30-35ppm to be harmful to these particular corals? I understand algae issues and what not can come from elevated nutrients but lets say that there is zero algae issues, just the typical film algae that grows on the glass.

I don't think that level is any big concern for corals. Some beautiful SPS tanks have more than that.

Awesome, I had the same thought process. Just wanted someone with a better understanding of water chemistry to confirm. Thanks again, and thank you for being apart of R2R and answering so many questions day-in and day-out. You are an excellent resource.
