    Default Never doing water changes

    Just come across this "interesting" take on aquarium keeping, i'll be honest - I've never heard of anything like this before?

    It's rather worrying what he's promoting!

    10 minutes of my life I will never get back. Aquarium mysticism at its finest.

    My favorite part was where he said that we were throwing away good water and replacing it with bad water. That is flat out not true. He said it kind of in passing as though it was a given.

    My good water flows close to the start of the the ravine where there are beautiful trees on top and a creek on the bottom I'd prefer to water my vegies with it, but the veggies are up hill and the woods is down hill.

    This guy's channel is a good laugh I noticed this is getting pretty popular on facebook and the sorts. They say waterchanges aren't important, but their fish are always runts and in poor health. Discus really taught me the importance of waterchanges. You can clearly tell the fish that was raised in dirty water vs clean water..

    He certainly got everyone’s attention.
    I’m sure there are those who will actually follow him.

    This isn't FB. You don't get banned from Simply for expressing your opinion

    Yep we ban people all the time...spammers, trolls, oh and the occasional member that forgets to follow the forum rules after being reminded repeatedly and repeatedly and repeatedly. Apologies but sometimes you can't fix stupid. I Can't recall banning someone just because they had a different opinion,..of course if we did, I'd have to wonder how that opinion was expressed.


    as for the video..Not even remotedly interested in watching it.
