how often do you preform water changes?

[Fat Homer]

Depending on the tank between 40% - 70% a week minimum...

I try to do it once a week, but sometimes life gets busy. When I do water changes, it's usually about 50%. Did a water change last week and before that was 3 weeks before that.

I do one everyother week 50% for 90 gal.three years now and seems to be working well,i had to cut down on feeding from 2x a day to alternating 1x aday and 2x the next that seems to keep the water in better condition. The fish don't seem to mind as they're always hungry!

I do weekly, 50-80% depending on stocking levels and how messy the fish are. Sometimes I do twice a week, if I'm bored.

im overstocked so I do a few small water changes followed by a larger waterchange every week.

50% weekly with filter cleaning bi-weekly. im a firm believer that water changes are the key to keeping discus

 

[Bderick67]

I change at least 50% weekly on all my tanks except the one planted tank. The planet tank only gets 20% every couple weeks.

 

[J.Lake]

AT least 50 percent every weekend for my aro. The rays get even more bc they are nitrate machines.

 

[jayren4]

I do 60% every 4-5 days or when Nitrates start to climb over 20...
