I will see what I can dig up, and I might even see if I can get permissions to have a table on here with live updates sourced from each Water authority of the quality levels for all capital cities...
that would be kool...

Matt, I have never had a problem with the water here...
the pH usually varies between 7.0 & 7.4 and nuke the stuff with a additive to kill the chlorine & chlorimine and everything should be smelling like roses... or looking like Discus...

I was using Prime up till a week ago, now using "Water Ager ACN", it is a local product, and has a broader spectrum of Detoxification, and neatralization... it is a litle more expensive, but in comparison to what it does, very cheap...
I also add a few drops of Cycle to every bucket when doing water changes, to promote a wide variety of "Good" bacteria, and depending on what tank the water is going in, a spoon full of aquarium salt, or a few drops of Amazon Water Conditioner (Peat & tannin extracts especially for Discus)...
