I dun use aged water. Tap water + Nutrafin + salt (mind you, rays can kena salt burn easily, as well as clorine burn, so.. be careful, yeah?)
Tank has wood and plants, and coral chips in the filter.



on a personal note

No right or wrong in keeping fishes.

as long as the fish is alive and eating, and moving ard, and looking fat, my guess is wad has been done so far is ok

forgot to add.
How different people keep their fishes to different results with different resources differ too.
Some people have all the time in the world to do 5%-10% WC everyday, some dun change for ages, and of coz.. results is different, la...

you use directly from hose into tank then add anti chloine? or.. water to pail then anti chlorine then pour into tank?

I'll prefer not to tell

As i said, each has their own method
Do whichever you think suits you best, bearing in mind what to look out for

how do you guys add salt then? dissolve in water first?

i thought the forum is a place for sharing

Yes. Share what one thinks is best to share.

and in my case, to share what i think is best for everyone.

I'm simply one of those weirdos who think there are 101 ways of doing stuff, and there's a tendency that everyone likes to think they know best.

If I tell u i take all the fishes out, put in a pail of fish tank water, empty the tank 100%, wash with tap water everywhere, fill with tap water, throw in chlorine remover, change all the cotton in the filter, let run for an hour or so, den dump the fishes in again, will anyone start bombing me left right center?

Chances are - people will start cursing and swearing and curse tat my fishes die sooner, so what's the point?

Btw, i never knew being in a forum means one has to share 100% everything people ask. We as individuals reserve the right to choose what we wish to share.

i just thought it's a place for sharing. never once mentioned that everyone must share, whether they like it or not

and i believe that if you're sharing what works for you, why be bothered about people questioning you?

[satan_gal]

No, i'm not bothered. I'm just free enuff to voice my tots coz I'm waiting for the potatoes to cook

and I agree 100% with you that it's not implied in this statement
that it's "never once mentioned that everyone must share, whether they like it or not"

Den again, maybe as a female being, I'm being sensitive.
