[Killietalk] largeshop/hatchery water changes

["R. Brice" <Tarmack at clarityconnect_com>]

I don't know if this is common for all stores, but there are four stores in 
my area and only one does water changes.  The other three do what they call 
a daily 10% ..... they withdraw enough water when catching fish and selling 
them that at the end of the day the water level is down 2 inches and they 
have to top off the tanks (really sumps).  They also have the system divided 
into 500 gallon sections to limit problems (one just had a pump go bad so he 
shifted the fish into other tanks and waited for the replacement pump to 
arrive).

Something to chew on,
