So Jay do you recomend NOT doing water changes on a QT? I have done mine every week or so to monitor for ammonia levels but have had to redose my Copper Power each time as I noted it dropped with each change below desired 2-2.4 levels sometimes as low as 0.93 for a day or so. Also just lost a gray angel juve who was introduced to copper at 1.93 on Monday and now seems listless and stuck to my powerhead at 2.43 copper power dosed up last night? Thinking sick fish from LFS more but should I be doing a water change too? Thoughts?I really prefer people not try to manage ammonia through water changes - biological activity is better.
Water changes are usually not done as well as they should, leaving residual ammonia and a yo-yo effect with the ammonia climbing, then another water change. Also, redosing copper after each change can be tricky.
