Yah, I didn't even bother to check the ammonia/nitrite/nitrate level, just change out at least 80% of water weekly + antichlorine + Oxycure or salt will do. By keeping to this routine, so far have not encounter any major problem..."TOUCH WOOD".

Hi Bro Laser,

You are right about changing water. With GF, no known filtration method is effective agianst nitrate. The only way is frequent change of water.

On your part of adding Oxycure or salt after every water change, it is not necessary and not reccomended as you fish will slowy develop immunity against it. Salt or Oxycure itself is a very effective medicine for most parasitcal diseases.
Oh, is that so ? This is new to me, I am maintaining this salt routine based on the instruction on the Oxycure, in additional to that, it will tend to calm the fishes after all the disturbances. Has been doing it for long time now, may be will try to stop as you have advised.
Thanks bro, may be can save some $$$ on this advice.
