50% Water Changes Per Day

[Redbellypiranha]

so i have been doing 50% water changes on my 10 gallon grow out tank that houses four 2inch mono peacock bass. is this too much?

I'd say not as long as you can handle the workload.

I would bring it down to maybe 25% water changes maybe? Just get a really strong filter to keep up. When I had my Oscar in his 15 gallon growout I had two filters running both over 20 gallons each. Tank was crystal clear every day!

You can do 100% water changes and still be fine if the water chemistry from your tap is the same as the water in the tank. If I could, I would do 100% water changes daily on my fish tanks.

I would worry about chlorines and such coming out of the water supply causing problems but if you can figure a way around it I don't see why not.

I do 100% a few times a week on my 180g but I refill using a carbon bottle.
