Or if not, what should you use?
We just had all our fish die and are trying to figure out what to do to restart the tank. I posted about it here if you want to check it out: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f17/all-our-guppies-died-332993.html
One of the considerations of their death is the possibility that our tap water is contaminated with sulfur. It sometimes smells like sulfur (probably from the older hot water heater, cold water doesn't seem to be as affected). Like I said in the other post, I did not notice an odor the day we had the problem and our tank did not ever smell like sulfur.
Should I completely discontinue using this tap water even though we did not have issues for 18months?
If so, where do I get the water? Spring water at the store?
Is there a testing kit that includes sulfur?
Thanks so much!
