not if done properly.

many discus keepers do 50% per day with no issues at all.
50% is preety conservative for discus keepers, many discus keeprs do 95% water changes daily with no ill effects.

Say i changed the water 30-50% every morning would that be bad?


Daily water changes are an overkill in a BIG way. Why do it? I actually recently got into a minor, related debate with a LFS employee about doing water changes at 50-60%. He felt that was too much water and that it would either shock fish or ceate a major bacteria bloom.

Ignorance can be painful to watch sometimes.
