Re: [APD] Cloudy water

Sometimes, if I'm especially lax, the fish jump for joy, figuratively speaking, when I change the water, 50% or more.
 
Not that I recommend wating too long between changes. Not good for tanks or babies. ;-)

I do anywhere from a 50% to 85% water change weekly or whenever I get around
to it depending on how lazy I am.  I haven't seen any fish falling over dead
from it. Then again, I haven't told the fish I'm not an expert so they
probably don't know they are supposed to be dying.  Stupid fish.
