i have a few thoughts about this since its not all your tanks and only 2...........First, what are the temps of all your tanks?.........Are the 2 affected tanks very near the same temp?.............My thought (and its only a theory)something is now in your tap water that is only showing at a certain temp.........What it is i cant answer..........I would contact your water authority and ask the the questions stated earleir on in the thread, but i would also ask if they recently did ANY type of pipe work in your area............something could be leeching into your supply line coming in, that the water company is unaware of.........I would agree, it hasnt seem to affect your fish (very nice Oscar, by the way) and clears from a dose of salt, so it doesnt seem very dangerous, but on a long term basis it might be.........It might be worth checking out, considering you drink the same water..........

I dont know if this helps, but it could be a possibility......I hope im wrong and it was something simple for you.....good luck
