I have no problems but as I said, I add extra water conditioner. Some people do have problems. Not heard why the kettle is bad but boiling water on the stove would be a good alternative.
Thanks for this thread guys. I've learned quite a bit from it. I already read up on cycling a bit but I have loads of questions of my own. I started a thread with some questions in it. I'm going to add more questions as they come up as well. Thanks for your time all.
