I'm pretty sensitive to the taste of heavy metals in water and I drink our tap water so I'm not sure that is a source.
If you can get a hold of a bottle of Prime and also Stability from the lfs or a local reefer do so. Both assist in getting the bugs into turbo.
At peak time how many snails and hermits did you have in your tank.
