Thanks all for your replies. I'm now even more motivated to rid my tap water
of chlorine down to
0.00000001 ppm. (grin!)


The clorine in tap water wouldn't have such a graphic effect. Water changes of
10% pr so pose no threat to your fish and letting tap water sit for 24 hours
removes the clorine. Now adding lots of clorine as in clorox can and will
sterilize your pond completly, plants and all!
