[eklikewhoa]

Got another one doing 90-100% waterchange!!!

Skowly but surely! one by one... )

[cichlid1409]

no point in doing anything less than 75%

[Totenkampf]

u guise should just move on to terrariums then. i am slowly shifting my tanks to 100% tap water to see how they do, i am getting sick of refilling my 5gallon jugs at wallymart. i will move up from the 30% changes that I do now if the plants do okay but i cant imagine this! lol

Could you imagine lugging home 200g worth of water every week? Use tap water and just dechlorinate it with prime or safe.

Hardcore ballers like Thomas use carbon bottles

Anyone with a few hundred dollars burned into the hobby should have a carbon bottle or running RO/DI, Aged water. Anything can happen and wipe out your tanks.

I don't believe in carbon bottles.

I don't need it to shower so the fish shouldn't neither.

i buy 25 gallons a week of purified water from the little water machines that are in walmart, its pretty cheap but I doubt it is using really effective RO or UV sterilization like they advertise. i dont need as much as some ballas do but even 5 jugs gets annoying. i live in the country so my water is super hard and i wasnt sure how the plants or SA tetras / dwarf cichlids would like it

at that rate, i think an RO/DI unit would be more combinient for your use.
