Jordy thinking atleast once a week...u got a lot of poop machine fishes...

 

[760fishaddict]

At what % would u say?

 

[jordanroda]

30%...

If you're feeding that much daily you'll likely need 30% 2 or 3 times weekly. If once a week I'd shoot for 70-80% to stop nitrate build up.

+1, its only gonna get worse month by month, you really shouldnt have that many fish in there without the pond built, tanks only good for a grow out.

Ponds built and running and other then the arapiama what couldnt stay in there??

Depends on the dimensions, but eventually the redtail. I think for now though tank is plenty big unless you have an odd footprint. I'd do 50% water change 1x week.

I plan on dumping the two rena filters and adding 2 more fx6s so 3 fx6s on a 350g tank sounds like amazing filtetation to me and the tank is 10ft long 30 inches wide and I forget the tope to bottom measurement

I would be doing fin level once a week, heavy vacuum every time, canisters every 3 months, HoB ever other week,. but that's just me.
