Cannot lower too much leh, the hospital tank filter is a corner air-driven filter with height of 8 inches I think.

Actually I would prefer not to have any filtration for a hospital tank, just an airstone will suffice.

And as the fish will most likely not be fed, I will change 100% water every other day.

Managing water parameter include frequent wc and filter management, do we need to add medicine doses every now and then to prevent any outbreak. This is the only thing that I feel sad with GFs, because they are susceptible to SBP.

No need lah. You shouldn't use medication if there are no symptoms.

Then as you mentioned in an earlier post, do the things you normally do can already.

Well, I guess in this hobby, certain sacrifices have to be made. Like sometimes I change water for my two tanks till past midnight or like I wake up at 4.30am today to change water.

Having said that, I did mention that its HOSPITAL TANK; I don't know about others, but my hospital tank gives me 20L of water tops so changing this tank does not take too much time. In fact, I am using a tub which I bought from Ikea, so its not a tank per se.
