Too Many Water Changes? Advice....pl!

[Kindredspirit]

Hey Guys ~ Is there a thing as too many water changes in one day? I mean why would you really...do more than two a day....I guess it would come to just not making any difference after two?

I am having this problem in that with my new job I work three days in a row of 14 hour shifts ~ there is just simply no way to do a wc on those days ~ I wonder how will my baby discus weather this? I have never missed a wc yet...except the last two days

I was going to do two today ~ and so on til my next shift ~


Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated!!

Hmm, feed lighter on the days you are working? And if you could squeak one water change in the middle ( probably not, though, with those long hours). I'm not the expert though. But if I was, I would try the above. But hopefully, others will chime in with some help for you.

I would feed lite like traco said on the days you work. Maybe try even doing a 10% wc and then the days your off slam with 1 large wc and a small one in that same day. When I say slam Marie I mean SLAM!!! 95%-100% they should be flounders. lol

Yeah....? Well I was off yesterday Angela ...So you are saying to do one large one ~ 100%....then another one in the same day...but only 10%? Do I have that right? It would not be a good thing to do two 100% wc a day on my days off?
