I pretty much know what alot of u think, but would like to hear a response to my LFS advise. Just an FYI they have been around for 15 + years and seem to be very knowelgeable. Pretty much all that is said on these boards they concur with.

I would say that this advice is scientifically bogus - completely - and at least 15 years out of date.
I would actually suggest you find a new LFS based on this advice, to be honest. They are completely wrong, not to mention that the problems with tap water can be far more than just extra algae growth. We test for such a small part of what is in water....that statement is just totally off. :scared:
