Also, I forgot to add that I put in softened water in to the aquarium.
I was going to add hard water from a faucet outside till I realized
that that was going to be hard water and I put in soft water. Now I
read that I should put in hard water and not soft. Is that true? Is
that a big mistake or am I ok for now with the soft water and from here
on out use the hard water. Any ideas??

Thanks!
