All the reports from the various suppliers around here will at least reference the use of chloramines, if not show an actual average measurement.

I’ve been wondering why you have been waiting for the water people to reply.. The company or town department that supplies the water should have a web site, and on that web site should be the latest report available for public consumption that will tell you whether chloramines are used and a lot of other […]
Jason,
Please remove this group from your grouply thing or you will likely get banned from the group and/or other groups. MOST groups feel the same way about Grouply since they spam so many people. You will also find that your personal email address will likely end up on one or more spam blacklists […]

Glad to see you’ve added a nightlight, and just like a tank cover you may not need it 364 days out of the year — but it only takes that one day that a fish may decide to jump or may get startled by something (another fish?) that may have bumped into […]
Hi Donna - yes I have been thru the ammonia and nitrite spikes. No plants. I already have a very high PH and the water here is hard so maybe not a good idea to add the shells. Thanks for the advice.
Did you have an ammonia spike and then a nitrite spike? Yes, you should have some nitrate if your tank is cycled (unless you have fast growing plants) because the bacteria that you wanted to grow create nitrate as a waste product.
Shells and coral will increase your hardness (and maybe pH) since they are […]
Hi - I need more advice. I have a 10 gal with 4 male guppies and the Cory catfish. I have lost several of the “boys” thru this cycling process. All started to shimmy and then died. I found I don’t like taking dead fish out of […]
