Water Changes and Tank Stability - (Filter Media Makers are Going to Hate Me!)

Описание: #waterchange
#tankstability
Can water changes kill your fish? Can routine maintenance create a high level of stress that can set your fish up for disease and death? I've received numerous messages saying, "Help, I just did a water change and my fish are dying ... but my water tests look fine ... what's going on? Please help!"
Obviously something shocked those fish and created distress. What if there was a way to set up your tank that would provide stable and safe water conditions, even after major maintenance?
I've come across some ideas from a fish keeper and blogger in Sacramento, California. A fellow named Tony Griffitts. In this video I share his approach with you.
Expensive media makers are not going to like what I'm going to say, but I'm going to anyway! It could be a game changer!
