I just do 100% WC direct from the tap without anything added but only ocassionally add some salt. (Daily WC):D :D :D

[Mystique]

I use Aqua Plus by Nutrafin. Most ecomonical product!:D :)

[Aquarian]

use water cannister filter like u , no water conditioner added

[TROY]

Direct from tap, 20% every Saturday. 1 to 2 pails as and when I will see "poo-poo" inside my tank :)

[poseidon]

30% tap water change once a month,top up water and filter wool change weekly!:)add a little salt,its also depend on what kind of fishes u keep,some need more care:)

[joelwong]

For my 3 feet tank, I dilute Nutrafin into a 5 litre container, then put the hose into the tank and on the hose, slowly pouring in the diluted nutrafin.

For my betta tank, I do 100% water change

Now, getting back the habit of changing water twice a month. Change around 20-30% water, add my usual water conditioner (Easy-Life). Later add some black water for my cheapo BP :D

[Aquarian]

for those fishes that are very sensitive to changes in water parameters like aro, u many want to consider a slower rate of adding water into the tank, so that the changes in the water parameters are not too drastic

[Theo9902]

how? cup by cup :D

I dun think i will change water often after introducing my new tank.... maybe a pail of new water every week.

[Aquarian]

since you are using a hose, you may want to slow down the flow that's all

This question is for the discus expert. These few days i realizing that lot of discus very easily contacted with cloudy eyes, is this related to the water condition? Because these few days kept raining especially at the North, I not sure about other areas! One of my wife friend, her tank of discus all contacted with cloudy eyes, hope to get this solve asap. THanks!

100% water change for my fishes at the end of day after the last meal. I add in hypo crystals for anti chlorine. No filters or whatsoever.

during that month, PH is very high from tap water.

is a good practise to add water conditioner whenever there is a WC :stick_out_tongue: .

CHeers..

[Interestor]

for me, WC as and when needed depends on the tank water parameter :stick_out_tongue:

possible 100% WC with water conditioner :big_smile:

CHeers..

Using stress coat plus age water.

[condor]

These days, I just used anti-chlorine and water direct from tap
doing 100% water change for my discus.

I'll just drain off 1/4 water and top it up dirctly from tap. Of course with some salt and anti chlorine.

Thanks for the input. Any recommendations on anti-chlorine brand to use?:big_smile: :wink:

[david lee]

I use Sera brand from germany. Mineral salt, those that cost S$1 a packet. These are for regular weekly water change.
