water changes we all need to do them no matter what filtration system you have so saying a water change is detrimental is wrong.
i dont meen to sound like a parot….but, care to elaborate furthur as to why they are needed?
nutrients?
replaceing trace elements?
removing so-called “unremovable solutes and solids”?
water aren’t “detrimental” always, but a water change, should only be a temporary fix to a temporary problem, when used constantly because you didn’t use adequeate filtration, it is removing beneficial bacterium and disrupting th equilibrium, and that is detrimental.
to give an example, a reef tank. the salinity in it has every element known to man in a certain concentration.
change that water, and you WILL disrupt a few of the eleental balances.
each element plays an important role, an
d many are inversely and directly related, hough all are tangently related.
i am n ot saying that water changes aren;t useful everyonce in a while, just saying that when used on a schedule, such as they are in the expert village videos, they are detrimental to maintaining the stability of your aquarium.
need a cheep way to remove nutrients?
get rid of some fish, or feed less.
if your use a better filter, or a different media, then you will not need water changes any more.
the bottom of the surface? lol
Looks easy when it’s a little tank.
thanks
lol 1:43 fish XD
10 Gallon FTW.
lol the open sign says pen.
phythons are really bad for your fish l0l gets rid of all your bacteria my gravel never is phyphon but i have fish that pick at the gravel 24/7 and get the dirt in the water than the filter catches it, this way when i replace filter pads the bacteria will not cause the tank will re cycle how ever this style can only be used for cichlids and gold fish so you can’t use my method for tropicals(what ever you spell it lol)
bet its a cory cat. Mine does the exact same thing
Uh, i’m thinking of getting tropical fish.
With using the siphon. When your mixing the conditioner with the water, how many buckets would you add to the tank and do you put 1 conditioner spill in 1 of the water buckets or everytime you add an extra bucket?
im new to salt water aquriums i have kept a fresh water tank for a year now and just up graded to salt water this vid is not giving me the information to change the water in my salt water tank can anyone reply with some usefull information plz.
so do i empty all the water or just a bit and if yes how much
eww thats not a good way to start a siphon… unless you wanna drink fish water… try this… when you get water in the line lift up the hose… when water starts coming out of the bottom of the hose.. cover the hole with your thumb than put the top part back in the aquarium let it fill again… voila… instant suction without the fish breath… LOL… if you have a long hose you may have to dunk it in and out a few more times…
omg this dude doesnt give good advice. in all his videos (ive only seen 1 other lol) ppl r saying stuff like he’s doing it wrong and i agree. y dont u stop rushing and actually explain crap damn it.
