Nope, I don't see. I took advice from trusted people with ideas that make
sense.

Intelligence is a prerequisite for information to make sense. This is your
problem.
I don't expect you to understand this for the same reason.


at all, other than "Try it, it'll work".

What evidence do you have to support your tank moving advice? How many
times have you performed this move?

I want the OP to read my post and say, hmm there's an idea that kinda makes
sense and it worked for him and the other poster...

This is very hypocritical of you eh Patty? I offered the same with my water
changing philosophy.

When I saw your post, it didn't make sense, why would countless people do
useless water changes....then I find articles saying things like :

Water change

Old tank syndrome symptoms can be an effect of insufficient water changes.

Which can be read about he

Don't believe everything you read.

Did you read this part:
"Water changes of approximately 10 to 25% monthly help to limit the
long-term change in the ionic composition of seawater in a closed system
aquarium."

Do you know what limit means? It doesn't mean prevent. That means you can
do water changes and still have the same changes in ionic composition.

Again, Don't believe all that you read.


that article says...scientists, in a lab, did the exact studies you were
thinking of, and found that....you are full of s***

So, I chose not to believe you.

Your option.
