Has anyone heard of the new idea of no water changes?I got the ad from our newspaper the web address www.aquariumdoctor.iinet.net.au How can that be? what would we do with ourselves Sounds a bit fishy to me!

If you put chlorinated water into a bucket and allow it to stand for 3 days, the chlorine gas will dissolve into the air and the water is then safe to use in your aquarium

I wonder if this works for chloramines?

Water changes, being a third of the tank, should be done weekly to remove the build up of protein and waste in the water. However, with the use of Aquamagic, water changes become unnecessary – fresh water is only added to replace evaporation

I suspect the water would heavy with minerals ect.

Chlorine will "gas" off,chloramines will not.

I suspect the water would heavy with minerals ect.

I can't see why it wouldn't either...I've never used the product but I won't hesitate to call it bogus.

I would use this stuff if I was totally unexperienced with aquariums and I was setting up a 5 gal goldfish tank......

I would never put any of that crap in my tank!

Buyer be ware!

Aquacrap! Not something I woudl use in any tank.

And exactly how would they recommend that you replenish all of the necessary trace elements and minerals that your marine life is dependant on??

They call it maketing hype. I'd be more likely to buy the aiptasia that a guy was selling on EBAY. :>)

After looking at this some more I think it was more specifically designed for FW (ponds) set ups but I still wouldn't use it.

I would not use it either for the reasons stated above by ya`ll
