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?
 
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.
 
at the moment i'am doing 2x 50% w/c per week till i can upgrade to a bigger tank..and house all my clown loaches.. 80 of them!
 
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.
 
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
