OOPS!  That's is what you risk when you sprat Googling without going back
and reviewing a thread from the start... Sorry about that.

Then he said, in part:

Off-the-cuff suggestion:  AWE-some fishless cycling.  ;)

Monitoring KH I hope?  That seems one of the big issues for folks with low
to moderately  low alkalinity water - which I think is your case as well, is
it not?  It may make good Scotch, but if is iffy for some tank processes...
