to do TO many water changes?
and if it is, what effect does it have on fish/plants

I change 1 Gallon PER DAY (use the vac after feeding) to clean up all uneaten food and poop from the day, and each weekend i do a 25-30% change,

Is this to much? Will it have ill effects on fish/plants? or positive effects?
 
i dont htink it would do anyhting... the fish should scavange the food eventually and or f you have a catfish or plecosomus, or some kind of bottom dweller that will probably eat the food

how about...

-asian red tail catfish
-Striped Rapheal catfis
-pin pictus catfish
-albino walking catfish
-blue chanell cat
-trio of clown loaches

and probaly a few im forgetting that feed off bottom:P
 
all of those sohuld eat the left over food.. if they dont then.. they might be a lil:screwy: What size tank you got? those are some big cats there
 
With having 3 levels of fish

Hujeta on surface
green spot puffers in the middle
and all those on the bottom,
i have to feed alot of food so they ALL get some,

in fact when they are done the walking cat and the ARTC looks like there about to explode LOL

they are currently in a 50gal breeder growing.. then they move to a 120
and then a 240 and then if they outgrow that.. to my pond :headbang2
 
in my opinion, there is such thing as to many water changes, if you do a 100% w/c every day, then that could kill the fish.(i think)
 
well i think that its more important to be cosistant with your changes, thats more important then how many you do. IMO its metter to do daily 10% changes daily then to do a 60% weekly, ad the fish will get used to you doing the chenges(chemicly) its the change in water chemistry that kills them through stress.
