[Killietalk] Water

[Duane Wake <dwake at iopener_net>]

Hi all,

I`m still working on my water problems and I was amazed after talking to a large number of experienced Killie breeders to find that they use aged tap water in their tanks. This water comes from municipal filtration systems that add chlorine and chloramines. As I understand they bring it into a storeage tank, aerate it a day or so and after warming it up they do the water changes. Now these people are some of the best breeders in the AKA so I am wandering why I`m knocking myself out trying to remove this stuff thru a tube carbon filter or with a water conditioner, I must be missing something somewhere. What is the good word on this?      Thanks in advance,   Duane in not too cold IN.
