the more popular / reputable brands mentioned are coz ppl have tested them n have found them to be good enough for the more sensitive / expensive fish. doesnt mean they're the only brands that should n can be used. how u carry out your WC is also very important. |

The thing is I'm the risk-taking fishkeeper and doing almost the opposite/extreme of what a normal good fishkeeper should do during WC (more frequency/20~25%/etc). My WC regime is... 1. 80~90% WC for tanganyikans (as long as the fish has water to cover head), 70~80% WC for plecos 2. 7~10 days (could stretch to 14 days when I'm lazy) 3. Full tap blast (saves time/too many tanks) 4. Overdosage of 20~100% (Agar agar one) As I was saying...I used Prime for 2 years and recently changed to Safe to cut costs and both has proven remarkably well....meaning little/no losses after WC, regardless of fries/adults. Ofc, this risky method is NOT recommended to anyone, best to follow accordingly and be safer like bro Amiidae. What suits me may NOT be suitable for others but I do admit that I'm a risk taker and Prime/Safe works very well for my risks. BTW I'm keeping plecos/angels and tanganyikans. |

Actually we had been emphasizing again & again that if watever ac u r using wks for u, then cont to use it as long as one is happy. We r here to exchange knowledge , learn more &,not here to force pple to change to new ac. These info will help pple with ac or water problem thru understanding how ac wks. Some bros had shared their experience on danger of over dosing certain ac,...etc. all these info for us to understand the correct usage and not abt trying to blacklist this ac or that and to promote the other. I hope all could read, learn with an open mind. Don think too much. Ac won make anyone rich, including myself.
