How often do you guys clean your tank?

[fishkeeper4244]

i know it depends on tank size and what fish you have. i keep getting crap from my stepdad from how much i clean my tank and he knows nothing about aquariums. i need to prove to him im not crazy...
i try to do 50% water change and gravel vac each 1-2 weeks
so how much do you guys clean your tank?

About the same i like to do a 50% wc and i vacume 1/2 the tank everytime that i do that.

25% water change every Sunday along with a siphon sweep over the sand to remove debris. I do a gentle sand stir with my finger every other water change. Algae removal from glass when necessary.

 

[Diskboy12]

25% wc daily on grow out tanks.
5 gallon wc on my 29 quarentine daily.

Eh, my main tank is in my room. So that plus a TAD of OCD, and I'm cleaning everyday. WC every week at least.

I currently do a 50% or more weekly, with gravel vac. my tank is horribly overstocked though.

 

[NCStateFisher]

approx 15-50% weekly, typically broken up over 2 WC's, less of a percentage on busy weeks higher when I actually have time to do the fully changes
