Wow have I ever learned a lot from all of you! I am a newbie and my tank is 1 1/2 years old. 75 gallons. I've been learning the hard way and reading many books and then I found this site! In a few days I have learned more than I have learned in months from my books -- they were extremely helpful but ..... Not one told me to age the water! I am wondering now if many of the problems have come from just that. So thanks everyone for asking the questions and giving great advice!
