i solved this by getting a big barrel and filling with water every few days. i never use straight tap water. PH Down is essential, but learn from my mistakes add it carefully. Its dynamite.

the side-curl is definitely PH related (but i dont know why) - that happened to me when i changed from my barrel of water to standard tap water for a few days, as my bartrel was empty ..it will sort itself out


maybe its a reaction to a PH change..thats all i can think
