You know, we've been decorating the utility room last weekend and this
- perhaps is was chemicals from the emulsion paint leeching into the
water from the air. You can certainly smell it all over the house,
despite keeping doors closed where possible.

Thanks!

Yikes! I was just thinking about that last night. Reading an article I
think - and I was thinking about the many lectures I've given my
growing children over the years about keeping their aerosol hair
sprays, armpit sprays and every other spray confined to their own
rooms and far away from the fish. I would guess that would be most
serious when using air pumps that actually draw in room air and push
it into the water.
