now i know this:
Chloramine is toxic to both fresh and salt water fish. Drinking water used with artificial sea salts for makeup water in salt water fish tanks must have the ammonia and chlorine removed first
now i know that my water is going to have, or already has Chloramine im going to have to warn everyone i know. Now everyone will have to get a RO/DI filter or go pay 35 cents for a gallon of RO/DI water. Sucks..

Thanks for the information.
I live in New Orleans and the fact that both copper and lead are found in my water was news to me. I already knew about the clorine and cloramine in the water. Glad I use distilled in my SW tank. Still trying to replace all the water in my FW tank since I used some tap water when I set it up about a year ago.
