    No not bubbly at all.
    I called and good news for me, instead of getting water from the amawalk reservoir as we usually do we will be getting it from the Catskill aqueduct until april which is much better. gh is 3 degs. where mine is 8-19 ph is 6.9 where it's usually 8.0+ They said they mailed out notices, but I didn't get one.

    i told him it's ok with me if they leave it like that!!
    the only problem was I had some tanks at 250 ec water is coming in today at 170ec so I have to almost acclimate them down. I ordered some ro right last week o experiment again and at least I have that to build gh back up if I need too

    we've been doing a lot of new water mains because they plan on some big rehabs to the aqueduct ,but most of them were to take towns/municipalities off the aqueduct, surprised we got put on, must be problems in the reservoir water. I'm just glad I always check the water going into my tanks.

    not as happy as i thought I would be, 2 days ago ec was 200+ today it's 103. they said nyc switches treatment plants as they feel. and since we are just borrowing from them we get what they give! the reservoir water we always get was a little harder, at least it was stable.
