Sorry but 600$ aren't little numbers to me while I pay a mortgage, car, buying my gf a ring to propose and taking care of my animals (cat, 6 piranhas, red eared slider, 12 yr old bearded dragon, 4 1/2' ball python and a german ram tank!)
The point is I do provide the best possible environment for my animals and i save $$ whilst doing so!
I'm not opposed to wc, would you rather change 90gal of water or 40gal and have the same parameters? Not to mention pothos help purify the air and provide a great root system for cover!
F1 can do what he wants i dont know why your arguing with him over him saving his own money
Thank you, I thought this was overly obvious.
600$/year is alot of money to me
Exactly, and for the record I'm not arguing, simply providing good efficient ways of setting up a piranha tank and saving some cash at the same time.
I like the idea of using pothos since it reduces nitratates and also prevents algae growth by reducing nutrients.
One just shouldn't neglect WC completely, since there will still be growth-hemming hormones and some nitrates in the water. But that's not what F1 VET is doing AFAIK. So let's get back to topic.

Thanks chub, I can always rely on your sense of knowledge and experience! My fish have never been healthier and i have more time to spend with my girl and animals!
Mopani, I use microbe lift bw amazon extract, it doesn't change ph whatsoever in the year that I've been using it, a 10$ bottle lasted me 9months and it looks great! Like Mike said adult p's are less active so for this reason I would provide a nice piece of dw and or plants to make them feel comfy and give a natural amazon themed setup!
I got lucky with my dw, it is very thin and takes up minimal space but provides cover, and they loving swimming up and around the branches!
