Re: [Killietalk] Saga with the Water Company

["The Harrison's" <csharrison at inkmaker_net>]

I am with Lee. Although I prefer the Thiosulfate for most everything 
from 1 to 55 gallons. The drop in pH from Thiosulfate is welcome and 
as long as the pH is some where below 8 there is little effect on 
anything from the amine part of the Chloroamine. I am much more 
concerned with the ammonia in the peat decomp than anything added by 
the water company.

I still am impressed by the improvement in fish life and plant growth 
with continued water changes. The effort some put into making their 
water "different" just doesn't appear justified when compared to just 
having LOTS of it to do the changes with.

Major thing I am very careful about is the residual Chlorine left in 
the changing water. It doesn't take much to kill off a tank of 
Daphnia or ruin a batch of Angel eggs. Test, test, test . . .

Change as much water as often as you can!
