I have now discarded all the stored water and only making enough R/O water to last the week. I will continue the Alagefix Marine dosage to clear the problem hoping it works.
Do you circulate your water?

We have (2) 65 gallon water storage tanks we normally keep full. I like the to keep the tops off, I think they need air, my husband likes to keep the tops on, he says they don't need air
We do circulate the tank water 3 x's a day for 15 minutes.
I wonder if storing this much water is causing my GHA now???????
