Thanks Bev. I had no idea that chlorine is not added but chlorimine. Learn something new everyday. I live on an acreage and add chlorine to my water but I have a carbon filter after the chlorine pump and then use a membrane nano filter after that for any disolved solids (well 70%).

Pre-2k, why wont you mention which LFS you talked to? We are hear to learn about the hobby, and the various LFS are a big part of the hobby.

Their advise was wrong, Bev proved why your kit showed 1ppm ammonia, she took the time to test the city water for you before and after treatment with Prime.

Long term to solve your problem you need to use distilled or RO/RODI water, not treated city water for your tank.
