OK, anyone following my many posts knows about the problems I've been having with my cycle and my tank water clouding up. I've come to the conclusion that it's this crappy Florida water being loaded with enough cloramines to treat a swimming pool, not to mention being hard enough to rival wet cement. (tap water here has
ammonia testing over 8
PPM and hardness over 300!!!)
Well, I finally came up with the solution, thanks to my mom. She called me Saturday and asked if I thought she should restock her stash of bottled hurricane water. And I thought "hmmmmmmmmmmm... 2 dozen gallons of bottled of water
" Better yet, this stuff has been sitting in her garage for a couple years, so it's OLD bottled water! So I tested it, and it's VERY clean, no ammonia,
pH a little low, but that's an easy fix, not too hard... it just might work.
So naturally I told her " yes, I'll go buy you a couple dozen new bottles right now"
And then I did a
water change with it, and voila! it seems to be working. And I bought a dozen more this evening and did another water change, and my tank is almost crystal clear! I think I finally got it right.
