OK, my head hurts, Ive searched high and low for this baddness in hot water and other than low or high ph affecting pipe or container there is nada that I can find. If you have info other than hearsay I would really be interested in reading it. Steve

Thanks for trying, I mean it. What about DIY?

PEMfish · 11-19-2007, 11:12 PM

Store bought stuff is too expensive.

i also use a mixture of hot and cold tap water on my fresh tank, and no problems so far. I use just enough hot water to equalise temp between tank and W/C water

PEMfish · 11-20-2007, 04:29 PM

Ah, I wouldn't do that. Don't try any delicate fish.

Hey, this is sounding like a poll...

zimboy · 11-20-2007, 04:46 PM

currently have: arrowana, clown fish, 2 I.D. sharks, senegal birchir and jack dempsey. Before i got all aggressive with my fish i was keeping altums with no problems. They're pretty delicate fish. Maybe not Discus, but still.... I agree with steve. show me evidence and i will stop.
P.S. i tested my hot water after allowing it to cool to room temp. There was no increase in G.H. iron, or copper, and no change in pH. Maybe its our good clean canadian water....
