dear water company...

what else would do this (water additive-wise)?
 
So, your water company is poisoning you too? Here I thought mine was the only one that wants to reduce the population of children, elderly, and people with immune deficiencies (that's what the water quality reports list their code violations as affecting in their "don't worry, you won't die if you're in absolute perfect health" statements).

I would suspect something else with the water as well. Prime should detoxify any ammonia and your bacteria colony would eventually convert it.

I have to agree.... sure they didn't switch over to chloramine treatment with the new year or increase chloramine conc. at the plant? SOOO sorry to hear about your losses.
 
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will begin using ammonia next month to treat drinking water in the District and Virginia, a move that officials believe will reduce the risk of cancer linked to a lifetime of drinking chlorinated water.

The new treatment, which is to be announced today, also is expected to make drinking water smell less like a swimming pool when customers tilt a glass of it to their noses.

But the addition of a new treatment chemical will require some special precautions for people who own fish tanks and patients who need kidney dialysis treatment.

Found here. Don't know the date


Such being this case, wonder if it is happening in more locations unannounced?
 
im wondering about metal contamination. i dont use any copper meds thanks to owning shrimp and snails
 
My water has been like that for a while now, all of the sudden I got .75 of ammonia and I almost fainted. It messed up my improvement with a 20 gal I was trying to cycle but it didn't do anything to my established tanks ... I was freaking out either way. :/ I still need to call the water company to ask them what was that about...
 
none of my tanks has been running for less than a month. my 55 has been running the longest at almost a year. this is the first time ive ever experienced this
 
i remember reading an article about a chinese restaurant which had all their fish die (Chinese restaurants like to have fish tanks on display at the entrance b/c they believe it brings good luck). I believe the reason stated was that there water companies occasionally like to overdose chlorine to kill anything that might in the system for safety.
 
well, the little L239 is still breathing. restless, but it could just be because hes in an unfamiliar tank. 3 congos died. one oto died. two congos are still breathing at the surface, but at least they have stopped doing barrel rolls. the other two congos are acting normal. my balloon ram wasnt phased at all. the otos are still acting a bit wierd, but none of the others have died. the platy wasnt phased either. the cories arent as frisky as they usually are after a water change, but they arent acting weird either.
