    There are plenty of others out there that are more effective, but they also cost a lot more... plus, the replaceable cartridges are only $6 (approx).

    Feedback from many LFS's is that customers in there droves are coming in asking questions after losing large numbers of fish.

    All have shown sign of toxic/heavy metal poisoning.

    Off the record, a Sydney Water employee stated, "They wouldnt even drink the stuff out of the tap, let alone put fish in it..."

    there suggestion, only do water changes if absolutley necessary.

    the funny thing is that its not the water you drink that affects you most

    its all the products that require the water in thier production that you ingest that worrys me.

    anyway couldn't be any worse than your smog?

    Pretty much have the problem nailed down...

    The water is being double and triple dosed with Chlorine, Chloromines, Flourite, & COPPER (I have copper residue in my aging tub)

    Plus the biggest problem, after extensive testing which was outsourced, Phosphates... from the water, not due to poor maintenance.



    if only I knew all the a few weeks ago, I would still have my prized 10 Clown Loaches...
