Re: water changes and bubbles.....

[salS <chas33@optonline.net>]

Al,
I only have this problem in the winter when I have to use more warm water,
in the summer time it goes away.
For whatever it's worth..I tried a couple of experiments and it seems that
if the water you're replacing is on the warm side you have more bubbles
build-up, when it's cooler I have no bubbles at all. Whether this is a
coincident or there's some scientific explanation I couldn't tell you!..
Lastly, I never had any fish suffer from it.
good luck
sal
