Why is that City of Calgary water report so hard to find...
 
Stir...you must have it? :wink:

Long story short, I ran across something about treatment plants adding CO2 to reduce pH, then found an article that Calgary was considering it in 2000. I have to get a FW pH, I tested with the SW kit, it was 7.7, but that is hardly the 8.2 cichlid water we boasted four years ago.

I had read about tapwater CO2'd and RO/DI's. It wasn't a good thing.

Glenmore is in the south. I think we are on the other one.

All you should have to do to get rid of CO2 from your tap or RO is aerate it in a bucket for a day or two. It's just a gas. It'll be replaced or balanced by O2 during aeration. No biggie.

Long freaking address :eek: You'll have to cut and paste the address onto your browser to get to the page.
