It appears that bacteria in filters are not just good for helping out with toxic compounds in your aquarium. Bacteria in your water filter can make your water taste better.

Interesting......but I still think I'll hold off on tasting my aquarium water.

Over the years I've gotten plenty of aquarium water in my mouth, and the kind from well-established planted tanks usually does taste a lot better than most tap water (even if filtered). And that's coming from someone who hates the taste of water...

Tank water's kinda sweet I've tasted it (not on purpose) before.

Some water tap tastes better than others. My parents have a well and have some very very good tasting water, although in the past few years the quality of the pipes have gone down hill and it has to be run for hours it seems before you get not funny tasting water.

Now, as to why any "health" juice company would put BGA in a drink....that I'll never know . Coworker of mine had some, I wouldnt drink that for the world, and it was sold in the grocery stores !
