Remind me not to buy fish from you! lol No but seriously, how does that work? Are they nicely planted and just have so much evap. that you just top off or what? I can't imagine how that could work.I've never done a water change in any of my 5 breeding tanks in 3 years.

Rplacke said:Yeah. I use guppy grass (najas grass) and hornwort and a combination of ramshorn snails and assassin snails and keep a balanced aquarium in each. Sponge filters house the good bacteria needed to maintain each ecosystem. I have had many prize winning guppies sold from these tanks and have only had deaths due to birth defects. I've never had to clean it or do a water change. All of my water stays where it should be. Just fill up the tanks as the water evaporates out over time. The salt originally put in the tanks doesn't evaporate out so basic tap water I let sit out for two days in an old cleaned out milk jug fills them up. But on my 36 gallon tank I do do 30% weekly changes.
