Re: Discus again
I think I had quoted the reason.
Waste of water. He said he changes water twice a day and RO water at that. I find that wasteful.
There was no intent of disrespecting the tank owner.
I should have been more clear in expressing what I had meant, so apologies if I sounded rude.

Re: Discus again
This concern is echoed by every environmentalist-type hobbyist Naufil. Discus are the King of Tropical Fish, yes, but sure need massive water changes. I try and use the last drop of aquarium water for my potted plants. ... If i had the space for these magnificent creatures, i don't think i would have the to do all the water changes.... Maybe if i had a massive front lawnNaufil wrote:I think I had quoted the reason.

Quoted or not, you should have 1st asked what he does with the water before assuming its wastedNaufil wrote:I think I had quoted the reason.

Good going Romi Even though I do only 1 water change(about 100 liters) a week for my planted tank, all that water goes to the potted plants in my house.Romi wrote: This concern is echoed by every environmentalist-type hobbyist Naufil.

Re: Discus again
I agree before jumping in you should have asked him wjat he does of waste water... I am sure as a responsible hobbyist he would also be using this water for his plants/garden...khamba wrote:Quoted or not, you should have 1st asked what he does with the water before assuming its wastedNaufil wrote:I think I had quoted the reason.
