Well, what I saw at another forum gave me a thought on a topic to discuss. And I think it will be a very educational discussion as well. This discussion will be about water changes and conditioners. I will give you the basics for the discussion, then will open the floor to all, to discuss their knowlege and experiences here.
First, before we start discussing, I want you to go to another site and read what it has to say. It's not a forum, but a site that was presented at that forum. Go to this link and read it, then where it says to go to the link about conditioner, click and read that as well. Here's the link, go down to #4 and #5 and read, then click on the conditioner link....

Basically, what I get out of it is to do smaller PWC's more often, and don't use conditioners. And that the chlorine and chloramine will not harm the fish, but will help in removing more diseases and pathogens from the water. Then they promote AmQuel Plus to condition the water. What are your thoughts on this..... The floor is open for discussion..... Should be an educational discussion...
Edit:
And this shouldn't be a discussion on their touting of Amquel Plus, but a discussion on PWC's, large or small, not often or often, and conditioners in general, and on whether to condition or not to condition, and how diseases or pathogens are affected if the water is conditioned or not conditioned.
