Small Water Change vs Large/Should You Gravel Vacuum Pool Filter Sand?/Wavemakers
- Thread starter Pazzoman
- Start date
I have seen so many schools of thought on this. Back in the day I was always taught that is was Ammonia and Nitrites that you had to watch still did water changes but never was as concerned about Nitrates. I have just recently found out just how many problems you can have if you dont watch your Nitrates. I've been doing two changes a week one about 50% then another between 20 and 30% even if my Nitrates aren't to bad this seems to keep them under control

When you want to embed a video there is a button it looks like a filmstrip, when you hover your cursor over it a little bubble will pop up and it will say "Insert Video" just click that and paste the link then click OK.

Unless you have fish that are sensitive to massive water changes, I would do massive water changes. 50% at least weekly with vacuuming. If time permits do a midweek vacuum for poop collection. Sometimes I just stick my arm in and stir things up to have the filters collect the waste. Placement of powerheads can help with that.

Thanks for the help and for inserting the vid! Will remember...weird is not letting me watch it...guess I have to do something on the youtube settings.
@rodger
50% is defintly do able, probably will wait for the clowns to grow in size, as feel they are still fragile...however they are growing fast! Of coarse that is just because they are only an inch lol...I think ther pushing 1.5 inches in just about a 3-4 weeks..once they hit 3 inches...wordn't notice any growth for at least a year...lol
I keep messing with my power heads...but I just cant positin it in a way where any thing that hoves off the ground gets a strong enought push to head into the over flow box.
