Razin Fishes (Scotty)

I've been keeping freshwater fish for over 50 years. From a young boy with my very first tank, to where I am now with Multiple tanks, multiple species of fish.

I just enjoy the hobby and am willing to share what I know or don't know, the good and the bad things that happen in this hobby.
I hope you enjoy my content

This good info for us fish keepers in my area. I hear many folks on the internet talk about fish kills from water changes.
This is good info to be prepared for!

Temporary Water Disinfectant Change – February 2026
The City of Harker Heights will temporarily change the disinfectant type used in our public water system as part of routine water quality maintenance.

From February 1 through February 28, 2026, the Harker Heights Public Water System (PWS ID #0140023) will convert from chloramine to free chlorine. During this time, some residents may notice a slight change in the taste or odor of their water. This is normal and temporary.

Public water systems are required to maintain proper disinfection to ensure safe drinking water. While chloramine is commonly used because it lasts longer in the system, a short-term switch to free chlorine, along with system flushing, helps clean distribution pipes, control bacterial growth, and maintain overall water quality.
This temporary conversion is a standard maintenance practice and is not related to a water quality violation.

If you have additional questions, contact John McElroy, Public Works Director, at 254-953-5613.

Thank you for your understanding as we work to maintain safe and reliable water service for our community.

So I will have a video coming out on this Hygger Back Pack filter which I really love. But... I need to make a modification to it. Because it plugs up my pre filter rather quickly. My tank is heavily planted and has a lot of mulm on the bottom of the tank. So the suction tube only pulls straight from the bottom. So look for this video coming out to show you how I remedy this issue.

So a question to the fishy folks. So I did some source water testing today. Im finding the water coming out the tap has both nitrites and nitrates in it at a moderate levels. I tested this because this tank ive been working on has struggled with high nitrites and nitrates even after big water changes. Now this is a very old building and the plumbing is nothing modern. So would putting a carbon filter help clean up the water before it goes in the tank? Or is there something better other than doing RODI because that isn't an option here. Please let me know what you think i could do to help the water.
