I have a photographer friend---I can ask him.

Yes, San Francisco just started using them last year.

I just don't know. I used the Aquasafe for years with no problem, so
I'm thinking it's something else in there. It's so bad, that I actually
get a rash on my LIPS from starting the siphon! I haven't added any
different plants to the tanks.

Nope. I have 7 tanks, and will soon be moving in with someone who has a
bunch of tanks, too! Besides, I don't think aging will take care of
chloramines, will it?
