specifically in replacing new water.

all i know is to pour some anti chlorine and methylene blue after changing a new fresh water.

is it ok to pour those chemicals while the fish is still there? some said you have to pull out the fish first before using those chemicals and put them back afterwards inside the aquarium after using those chemicals. for more or less 5-10 mins.how true is that?

my equipments are irrator and overhead circulating water filter w/ submersible pump.

please advice how do take care of this fresh water pets.

thanks.

No, you should leave the fish in the tank when you do your water changes; removing him is stressful and unnecessary.

You should not use methlyne blue unless your fish has fungus - meth blue is an anti-funguside, so unless you're treating for something, don't waste money on that :)

As for when to put in the water conditioner (anti-chlorine) depends on how you do your water changes. I'm still using the antique bucket mode. That is, I use my clean 5 gallon fish bucket (never had cleaning products in) and with a syphon tube I vacuum out about 30% of the water, which I dump (or use to water my plants). Then I fill the bucket back up, make sur ethe water is the same temp as the tank, add the amount of water conditoner for 5 gallons, put the water in the tank, and repeat until the tank is filled back up.
However, they have "python" tubes, which attach to the sink and go right into your tank, so you just turn the water on (make sure it's the same temp) and it flows right into your tank. In this case, you need to add the amount of dechlorinator for however much you're replacing, before you start running the water into the tank.

You should do these 30% water changes about once a week. And it is almost never necessary to remove more than 50% of the water or remove the fish from the tank (unless there's an emergency, like if you dropped a whole jar of salt into the tank or something).

How much does a gallon of reverse-osmosis filtered water cost in Australia?

I just read your reply and I'm in shock!
I pay only 50 cents a gallon, or 3 gallons for a dollar, and the whole town uses reverse-osmosis water, or we get sick!
Thanks for the info.
I'm counting my blessings about where I live, even though the water is foul.

About $26 US, plus or minus!

I am looking at Reverse Osmosis Water filtration systems. Can you recommend a brand? Why or why not?

Watts looks good if you live near a sales rep and are filty rich - I am not.

espring thinks flouride is good for you, which it's not.

home depot sells GE 10gpd for under 250 bucks. this is comparable to the systems i used to sell for 1200 ! if you cant install it about 50 dollars is what a handyman should charge. RO delivers the best quality water in your home for drinking and cooking, anything that goes in your body. my motto, if it is not there it cant hurt you!

What brands of bottled water offer Reverse Osmosis filtered water?

Definitely NOT Dasani!!! Coca-Cola admitted that it is just plain tap water from England. See link.

Also, definitely NOT Aquafina!!! It is also just tap water. See this link:

I'm guessing this question is in response to recent news that most of our water supply in the USA is tainted with low levels of prescription drugs, among other findings. I, too, am looking for a bottled water brand that uses RO (reverse osmosis). As it turns out, the generic brand at my local Safeway, called "Refreshe" is purified through RO.

Not sure of your location in the country, but good luck. Inspect your water-bottle label carefully. If it does not list a source, pass and keep looking.

I'm currently researching RO home-filters online, as I plan to no longer give tap water to my dog. (My last three pups have died of various cancers- make me wonder…). They have been varying in price from $150 to $400.
