hi...my boyfriend and i just got a brita water filter and i know that there are actual little black dots in the top part where the filter is but we've noticed really really small black specs in the water itself. whats the deal? thanks!
It is just little bits of charcoal from the filter. My husband and I have them in ours, too! They won't hurt you, but you can fill the top with water a few times and then dump it out to make them go away.
There are little black specs in the top of my water filter where you pour the water into. What are they?
It is some of the carbon granules that have floated out of the top of the filter from when you filled it with water.
No biggy - it is normal and harmless.

Brewing Tea with a Countertop Hot Water Dispenser: Pros and Cons
The kitchen remodelling industry abounds with accessories aimed at delivering hot (if not boiling) water in a speedy fashion. Recently, one of our customers asked for our opinion regarding the pros/cons of brewing tea with a countertop hot water dispenser. First, her question:
We generally advise against using water that’s sat in your kettle leftover from the prior day’s boiling. Using leftover water can result in a brew that seems flat or stale. Water that’s straight from the tap is freshly aerated. Most countertop hot water dispensers (that I’m aware of) don’t actually aerate the water. This is one consideration (albeit a picky one).

Excellent information. I am currently shopping for a instant hot water system, either by tank installation (described above) or the counter/standing water dispensers. Unfortunately, the specs for these units do not include the hot water temperature. Do you happen to know the pros/cons for bottle water dispensers? Any information would be very helpful! I drink black and green teas, yerba mate, and coffee. I definitely need instant hot water options for entertaining reasons. Thank you!!!

Layout wise if i was being really piccy i would move the rock slightly to the right and the wood slightly to the left with the thick end slightly more to the front. Then stick the larger crypt behing the thick end of the wood to present a triangle layout. The crypt could even be allowed to shade out the Nana on the thick end a bit with its leaves coming over the top. Leaving the rest to slowly carpet with the clovers.... Yes. I lost my job in October, and the tank moved to a neglected corner of my home. To boot, the outlet near that neglected corner wouldn't accept my light timer, so the light cycle was messed up. I rescued the surviving plants (some of which I had already moved to a better maintained aquarium, some of which were still struggling under the algae mat) and washed the sand. The driftwood is new, the rock and moss wall base is from the previous incarnation. That is something...
