did you just move to a new apartment? and my tap has been 6.0 for like 6 months lol. i don't even adjust. i'd end dropping it too much or something.

No, but it's the first time I've tested it here. I thought the whole city had the same supply?? I didn't move to far...

even if the city uses the same supply there are a lot of variables that could change the ph. and ph in the city usually changes with the seasons i know.

there are tons of water producing sources and pipes and temps and pit stops, but for the most part the city water sucks and is hard as hell around here.

RE: Chloramine removal. I personally use a few aquarium chlorine and chloramine removers. Apparently the byproduct is a little ammonia which should be okay for the plants.

if you use sugars or enzymes there are natural agents in them that help to lock up and convert the chloramine molecules. the downside to using aquarium products instead is they often use a sodium based reaction, thus a higher salt level, i would avoid using those but they are used in small dosage, ive used them myself worked okay i found enzymes work the best. but a good link ottawa.

It's true that most of them are sodium based (Sodium thiosulphate) However I found one that uses both a potassium and a sodium salt (two separate chems). Also I'm only adding 1-2 drops to 1 gallon of water..
Then again who knows whats worse? A little chloramine or the sodium maybe I should omit altogether? What do you think? what would be worse?

chrolimine gets broke down and can be used in its base parts, sodium cant, at least not that much and not for the plants for the most part, so i kinda see chloramine as the lesser of the 2 evils.
