    Where can I get water tested?

    I live in the Atlanta area and need to know where I can get a water sample tested. This is not for normal things like pH,amonia, nitrite, nitrate or copper. I need to find out if someone has introduced poison into one of my tanks. Thank you for any info you can give me. Dave

    algae sheets

    Unless I have previously fed my Picasso, he shreads my sheet algea and eats none of it! Maybe a jealous brat? I end up trying to net parts before they go into the overflow.
