I do not do water changes, I do not test my water every week. I never lose fish. I only siphon the bottom when it gets dirty looking. About once a year, I get feeling guilty, about my hands off approach and I start doing tests, water changes, etc. Fish start dieing. IMHO, the key to a successful body of water is to get it balanced, and let it go...if it ain't broke...ya know the rest... BV. |
