No I add my water with a 1gal/ 5min drip. Temp and ph are buffered before adding. When its nears 11/2"-2" I agree with Baller it will slow down, but that's why I have a 40b.
So I guess your way is different and has pros as well, like not moving the fish into different tanks. I'm just saying when I first started this I made a thread about how low no3 and fresh water with NLS would make a stunner rhom and it is.
This is an early thread and it took a lot of time to explain what exactly I was doing, basically how I met Baller and smoke lol.

We have one thing in common, we both DEEPLY care and want the best for our fish. Cheers to that cuz I don't wanna argue, you have a lot knowledge and I appreciate your willingness to share!
