They've also cut off the UV serilizers for the winter and added more Chlorine too. Starting to get nasty around here..........

I think that preyy much goes for everyone this time of year. For the past 3 weeks my tap water has been really murky and even brown at times. My water dish for my cats actually has mud in the bottom of it so I now give them RO water.

I think our situation has to do with the change of seasons when the thermal-clines (sp) roll the water and sediment. I really can't believe our water has met any kind of standards recently...

Have you guys been in the path of this big storm? Has wreaked havoc, & I'm sure will be reflected in the ground water all 'round for a while. Hope things improve. Dottie : :

I have not noticed a difference in water quality lately but I guess it only takes one bad day to ruin a lot of nice fish. Sometimes I think testing the water out of the tap all the time is more importaint than testing the tank water. garbage in garbage out right?
