I do at least 50% water changes in all the tanks I service and have never had a problem.

Why not do the test I sugested ?

If you just want to argue thats fine with me but lets do some tests and then we will have some first hand information to back up the arguements. :thumbsup:

so in conclusion if you have a big tank normal filtration you will have toxic ammonia in your tank untill the filters catch up of course the people who keep monster tanks and sumps it dosnt matter but for the guys with the 25gals ect and that trickle filter hob will have spikes that are not needed

Also i wrote this thread to help some people have a better understanding of what is going on when they add water conditioners and so forth ,not to argue about how i've done it this way for years its worked for me christ with that attitude Henry ford would have never invented mass production and our tanks would probably cost so much to buy we probably would'nt even have one or even be having this disscussion

Am I reading this right? Are you saying that a trickle system has mini cycles?

What are you baseing your opion of the trickle system on?

I think what he is calling a trickle filter is not what you have....I think he is talking about hang on back filters.....but chances are i'm wrong. Your system on your big tank is awesome and i would think there is no better way.

You may be right I read trickle and though he was talking about the drip system..... you know it kind of trickles in..... oh get the Fahaka out of here. :ROFL:
 
I do a 50% water change and add amquel and novaAqua+. They remove ammonia, chlorine, cloramine and a lot more. And it never gives me any problem. My plecos still alive :D
