changing water . . .

[Charles n Sue Harrison <csharrison at inkmaker_net>]

When changing water one needs to remember: Nothing works as good as 
flushing the commode. and

  Change as much of your water as often as you can.

  I try to syphon off as much water out of each tank as I can and then 
fill with changing water. I would like to use the water outside in 
the lawn or flower beds. That is something I could work on. (Carrying 
buckets, no I don't think so.) One can never get back to the water 
quality one started with except by exchanging all of the stuff in the 
commode. I learned this from talking to Ed Warner and watching him in 
his fish room.
Clean water = healthy fry, this was and continues to be their 
equation and mine as well. Leaving behind a fraction of the previous 
tank water leaves behind the fractional waste as well. Over time it 
continues to build and continues to alter the environment.

If one does this regularly there is no problem with shocks. But it 
does take attention to the fish room.

Changing water for me is pumped into the tanks with a submersible 
pump from a 55 gal plastic drum of thiosulfate treated temperature 
controlled water. In Texas in the summer months, hot water comes out 
of both taps. I had a greater problem of controlling the temperature 
in Ft Worth than anything else.
