Hi George,

I would be looking at water parameters first. Does it dart about while doing WCs? (thinking here about micro-bubbles in the tap water which aging with aeration should remedy). Perhaps something new in the tap water (ammonia, nitrites, etc).

Filling out the disease questionnaire might be a good starting point as Skip suggests.

I think Metro is good for HITH. Probaly other things also but I do not remember. I may repost and check my not yet opened bottle for what it suggests.
