50% water change

[guppy breeder]

just wondering if it was good or bad but i wanted to know yall oppion

its good if you keep up a regular routine of water changes weekly, they are not good if you do this once a month or every few months.

i try to do it weekly on my 10 gallon guppie tank

i havent cleaned my 10 gallon in a few weeks it so under stocked the parameters stay the same for up to a month because i only have a cherry barb. i think im going to build a 10 gallon sump for it.

I won't even do a w/c less than 50%. Just do them often and watch your tank/new water temps.

I try to do a ~50% water change each week. But never less than a 30%.

ok thanks yall but i have a problem here lately my filter has been over flowin at the water intake tube where u can adjust the water flow and i dont know what to do about it any of yall have any sugestions

that means your filter pads are clogged and need washed. The overflow is to stop to much pressure from being placed on the pump. Gives it an easy path to go through instead of making it work harder to go through the filter material.

I do 50 and sometimes 75% water changes on my tanks.
