Here where we live, our water is hard and contains LOTS of calcium - which leaves the annoying spots on the cages as well as the mineral deposits on the water dishes which require much elbow grease to remove [grrrr]
But more importantly, we have read that it is not good for our T's as it can ultimately affect their molt process if they have too much calcium in their diet. [True?]
Has any one ever successfully filtered the calcium out of their tap water? We read that someone used ?peat-moss? to do it but... I'm a little leary pouring boiling tap water over the peat-moss and then also leaving it in the water dish as was recommended.
Ideas? Thoughts? Suggestions? Advice?
Thanks in advance,
Rich
