Freshwater

If you can drink it, then your tap water is probably OK to use in your aquarium. This is especially true if the water comes from a municipal supply. If your water comes from a well, this is less certain. There are several factors to consider in water quality: pH, hardness, chlorination, and other chemical contents.
