Why not mix your water with ro water or a culligan jug? Unless you tank is extremely heavily planted I don't see your trates dropping without it..

Interesting, still without changing over any media it's hard to believe you tank didn't go through a mini cycle, what did the store use to test the water just litmus strips? They are extremely inaccurate and you may have bad water parameters. I would look into getting your own test kit and and...
