Can this be fixed?

Just outta curiosity, what's the price range on carbon bottles these days?

Think the small ones at FG are like $200, chrishem has a place he gets them for $400 for the beast one.

What is a 'carbon Bottle'?

I can live with that. I just don't know if they've started treating the water around here with heavy chloramines like they've been everywhere else.

Just assume they have... Test tap water and go from there. They always add more after it rains for some reason...

That's not to bad...

I haven't tested yet. Last time I checked, they were fine. Ammo around 0.25, no nitrate.

Are your tap water parameters that bad?

Oh man. I'm so glad your geos are ok!! I'm frikkin scared to do a water change right now. I feel like the old water in the tank is safer than what's comin out the tap! I usually double dose Amquel or Prime with my water changes.

I still use a half dose of Seachem Safe with my bottle just for insurance.

Iv never used or thought of getting a carbon bottle, but i do use Prime. Its the best de-clorinator you can buy from the shelf. Iv used it for many years. We all run into " sudden " fish emergencies so having a bottle of prime as a back up shouldn't hurt.

+1 I'm certain mine saved my fish many times.

Sorry to hear you lost fish. Our water is like that too. Some days it can go right in and others it will kill everything. Maybe even people... LOL...

[TaTeR ToT]

I'm going to for sure.
