    If there is nitrates testable out of the tap water your water has chloramines, which means aging it does not work. Are you treating the water with a conditioner which neutralizes chloramines, like Prime, prior to adding the new water?

    dont move to abby they dont get their water from metro vancouver either
    move to one of the 22 municipalities that gets water from metro, we dont use chloramines.

    if you are moving for the water, remember that some of the outskirt communities are still on well despite the majority of the system connecting to the metro water grid. most municipalities have maps denoting where water comes from on their websites

    id try and find the exact cause of the problem before starting to medicate
    you said its not in all your tanks, how recently have you done water changes in the other ones? is there a possibility they just werent exposed to the recent bad well water?

    can you test some of your water out of the tap and state the parameters here?

    they all had a water change the same time and the same % of water.. i think its the tank

    can one test for contaminats not just kh/gh/ph/ nitrates/nitrites/ammonia?
