Hi,
Coral chips and oyster shells are great PH stabliser, too much water change will trigger PH shock and may induce great amount of stress to the fish. I always encourage only 1/3 change weekly. Just throw away the wool and use new ones. These will remove the bio-loading with out affecting your water quality (age water). Top filter are good for gold fish and also easier to maintain.
Just my comments. Good well wishes to your Ranchu.! Cheers and happy CNY to all bros!
