7% bidaily - Testing the Water Change theory... please give this judgment

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Well I have 8 tanks now, Im only carrying out this theory on my 75 gallon because its the biggest tank and houses the biggest fish (7" BGK, 4" archer, 6"pleco, etc)... the other tanks arent much of a maintance hassle, infact the 2.5 gallons i own get 100% water changes weekly so there in fine shape..

Im going to carry out this 7% change for this entire month so ill see how it goes and keep this thread updated.
 
You should just use my drip system. I change 100% of the water in the tanks every week by dripping between .5 gal to 2 gal an hour 24 hours a day 168 hours a week.

You will love it! :thumbsup:
 
Everything I've seen says smaller and more frequent is better than larger and more infrequent.

more detailed info please. listing tools and crap required to get it setup.
does this mean you cant use your faucet because its always occupied?
 
My only objection to doing this would be getting my lazy butt to not skip days.
 
7%? That still sounds like weak sauce to me. I do 40%-50% almost every day and don't think it's overkill at all. It takes very little waste to foul our relatively tiny closed systems.

My next tank (~700 gallons) will have fully automated water change system that includes some type of mechanism to flush the detritus that naturally settles on the bottom of the tank.
