A question about water changes sharks and rays?

[jpcampbell123]

When doing a water change on a shark or a ray do you have to reacclimate them again all over or do you just add the new saltwater water into the tank while the shark or ray is in it after taking some of the old water out?

make sure all of the water parameters are the same as the water in the tank including the temp.

just do the water change, no need to acclimate again

As long as you add slowly, it's sort of an acclimation anyway.

what % of the water are you changing ? up to 40% would imo not be a prob,

 

[Zoodiver]

Unless there's a water chemistry issue, I don't do big water changes on elsamo tanks..... 10% or so is the norm for me.

i do 30% every 3rd week, why such a small water change zoodiver
