How Often do you water change>?

[Venom]

20% every week.

I usually did 20% water change weekly but sometimes I had to do it twice a week depends on water quality. I always add salt after I put in new water. 1 tablespoon of salt per 5 gallons of water.

The process of removing salt from sea water is expensive. Have you ever tried it? If you did you'd be singing a different tune. It tastes horrible.

just distill it. all you need is a source of heat (the sun will work) and a couple of glass jars (one with a lid with a small hole), and, well, an aquarium airline hose would work.

cheap, and fresh as can be.

Even so I doubt we'll be fighting over water for hundreds of years yet at LEAST!

Depends on the area. There are fights all over the place with water. Water rights are hard to deal with. Farmers all over are losing their ability to water, as their water rights are removed. Water is limited, and even where I live our aquifers get very low, and it is suspected they will be dry within only a couple decades.

Sorry you've lost me? Tell people in new orleans to stop keeping fish?

Bit of a weird arguement that, shouldn't you just give up fish keeping totally? That would save a hell of a lot of water!
Water will never be fought over, it's never actually lost.

Read my post, read the bold of your post. No idea what you were reading, to think I said anything about stop keeping fish.

Distilled water tastes terrible.

Ya know this is a bit off topic, but all this discusion has raised my awareness of our current water situation...

We as a people really need to empower the correct gov't that will put moneys into the water situation and the like, because our hobby as we know it, might not be around for our childrens' children to enjoy...

and what would this world be like without
][V][ONSTER FISH KEEPING?

I saw a commercial today about water conservation. First time I've seen it, but an interesting coincidence given this thread. I can only imagine the situation must be getting serious if the government is spending dollars on advertising water conservation. This is in the country with the world's largest fresh water reserves - Canada. By the way, fighting over water already goes on in dry areas and in fact, the U.S. and Canada had squabbles over it some years back when U.S. firms were trying to take over Canadian water supplies. Not outright war, but the beginning of what could be a terrible situation for our planet.

The only viable alternative I see is harvesting ice comets somehow but I don't need to go into the technical complexity of that sort of procedure.

To end a quote from the website advertised on tv.

Every day, most of us turn on the tap and take it for granted that an endless supply of clean, safe drinking water will flow out. Yet Canada’s freshwater resources aren’t nearly as abundant as you’d think. In fact, our belief in unlimited water is a dangerous myth.

We have those messages here all the time on the TV. It is a shame that some people waste water as much as they do.
