First major health challenge

[lpsluver]

Sharkonwheels has been missing for over a month. Anyone heard from him? Is he still in the hobby? I think he took the livestock wipe out pretty hard.

i was under the impression if you change more than 20% over the span of a few days, will shock the fish. Either changing all at once or not, I heard making a massive water change in a short time frame can negatively impact the tank. Please correct me if i am wrong as i heard this from a credible source.

I sent him a PM a couple weeks ago and never got a reply.


I think he quit :/

If that's the case I hope he gets my 10g tank and light back to me. It would make a great fuge for my RSM clam tank.

I have done 30% on a regular basis (weekly)
And I have done up to 50%, and have never lost a fish.
