Jason,
Our water here in Glasgow, Scotland is the same.  I rectify this is by
puting a small amount of coral gravel in my filter.  If the tank is filtered
with just air-driven sponge filtration put some coral gravel in a piece of
nylon stocking and place in tank or add a box filter with a little in it.
