I use the water from our water changes on the garden and the plants
seem
to
appreciate it!
And as for never doing any water changes - I wouldnt have liked to be
one
of
the fish in your tank/s! Partial (never full) water changes and
regular
gravel vaccing are necessary otherwise you'd get a huge build up of
ammonia
and nitrate over a period of months/years and I'd say that Ford sounds
like
a responsible fish keeper if he does regular partial changes!

Agreed - and not to mention the build-up of DOCs.
I didn't know that Doctors lived in fish tanks!
Dissolved organic compounds.
Ta, but I still don't know what they are!

Well, Google it!
