Haha I would use my gardwn hose if i didn't have to drag my full five gallon bucket up three floors to the bedroom. But what u said makes perfect sense since the fish all seem to start gasping when the co2 shuts off.....and the ph climbs. Wow great insight. I'm gonna try the more prime methos and keep you all posted. Thanks a lot guys.

Now what you really have me thinking about is the heavy metal content of my water...now I'm afraid what I might find.

Haha! Well unless you live a fairly older building/house I don't believe you will have a huge issue. I'd say my complex was built sometimes in the 70's judging by materials used and construction techniques. Water pipes are certainly durable but a couple decades and I would certainly expect high levels of Heavy Metals. Thats the tricky part about this hobby, there are soooo many possible explanations to each problem. Thats also what I love about it! Keep us updated!
