You'll need @least chlorine remover, you'll likely also want to get one that handles chloramine. Alot of cities have switched to chloramine as well as chlorine (sometimes they switch back and forth). ^_^ Current [link=Contest Rules]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/Aquascaping/44382.html?200412022138" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link][/font]

I will probably call the vet- he should know and if not then i will call the water place. I think the mice should be fine- but my frogs and fish will probably need some stuff in the water! thanks again -kristin ~!!I lOve LiFe!!~
