Re: [Killietalk] Daphnia and chloramine

[Sue & Charles Harrison <csharrison at inkmaker_net>]

Several of us here in St Louis keep these 
cultures and keep them in our tap water. It 
ranges 150 to 175 ppm total hardness and around 
250 to 300 TDS. It is moderately hard. We at our 
Ink Company make ultra pure water for several of 
our inks. 3 to 7,000 gallons a month.

Those of us fish keepers do the de-chlorine 
treatment with Thiosulfate - seldom with charcoal 
but that is used also. The hardness or TDS isn't 
a factor raising Daphnia and the like. I have 
used our pure water from the company and our tap 
water. I like our tap water because I don't have 
to change the Daphnia water as often due to pH 
drop. I can make Green Water with our tap water 
with a hand full of Splurina flakes and a 100 
watt light over the tank along with a start from 
the old culture.

Our tap water makes it easier and I like the KISS part.
