Right now I'm doing 15 percent one day, wait one day and then a 50% even though I am understocked and have a high turnover. I might change it to 50% every three days since my single discus doesn't seem to like it when I change the water and turns dark for a few hours or the rest of the day.
how often do you preform water changes?

i use to do weekly 25% water changes then i just kinda stopped cuz i was so busy. i do about 30% once a month. i feed 4 times a day small varied amounts each time. i havent had a problem so far and most of my tanks are double the filtration. thanks for all the imput guys! there are alot of diverse answers here. its nice to see that 
thanks for all the responds too!
thanks for all the responds too!I do 30% weekly on all except my heavily planted 40g Breeder, that gets a top up every 4 or 5 days and a 50% change every 3 or 4 months.
depends on what tank but at min each tank gets a 25% once a week.. and most get even more then that. one case imo less is not more. I really don't think I can do to many water changes, but realistically as long as my nitrates stay under 20ppm and nothing else is readable. I consider my routine good. since upping my water chnages and being more religious about doing them I've noticed fewer issues with disease.. and not many species I haven't been able to keep successfully even in "less the ideal PH perameters" ect. Provideing an over-all healthier environment imo has been key in my success.
