What type of water solution you use to keep the water perimeter good. I use tetra easy balance plus for my PH and seachem prime for chlorine, ammonia & nitrate. I do 40%-50% water change every week, sometime every 4 days.So far it does the job.
 
I don't use any. Just do wc's about twice a week, 30-50%.

My water parameters are fine. With the light stock and 2-3 time feeds a week.
 
Prime if I clean equipment with bleach, otherwise none. I have hard ass well water and keep PA natives, they are used to it. When I get my elong. piranha tomorrow I'll have to reconsider how I go about my water maintenance
 
Also on a well. Don't do a thing to it. Well, I do dose with ridx once a week, stuff is amazing.

I do big 80 percent changes 2 to 3 times a week.

+1 on ridX, filters stay so clean with it.
 
I have a lot of bio load in my tank so i do 75% water change weekly. I used PRIME to get rid of chlorine and others metal in my water.

Not just clean filters, better water quality overall. Have not had to dose any medications for cuts, scrapes, or any infections of any kind since using it.

Probably my greatest discovery in aquaria since the sump. Thanks to mfk of course.

indeed. RD did a huge write up on probiotics in the aquarium, theories of bacterial suppression in the tank, so much good bacteria that harmful bacteria can't take hold.

Same story here. Prime to remove any chlorine/chloramines and that's it. No carbon, no salt, no other chemicals.
