[AquaticLife] Well Water
It would be best to be able to test the water at the three intervals so you would know what is happening to the water. Some water’s go up in pH, other’s go down in pH. Some waters come out the tap with high GH/KH levels but then the buffers wear out when exposed to light and air and the GH/KH levels go down.. this is usually what causes the pH change but the CO2 levels can also affect the pH levels.
Without knowing your current baseline test results or the new water’s baseline test result’s, my only suggestion is to acclimate them very slowly..
The safest way to acclimate fish to new water parameters is the drip method and without knowing what your new water is going to be, you should probably choose that method. http://www.aquaria.info/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=379&theme=Print er
You could also go to the new place and fill several 5G buckets or one large clean garbage can with water and start using it in your current tanks when you do 10% PWC’s so you can start acclimating them to the new water while still at the old house.
How many tanks and what sizes do you have?
