smaller water changes more often or bigger less often

[tcarswell]

Just as the title says is it good to change less water 2-3 times a week, or more once a week ?? thanks in advance

personally i do large changes only because i dont have the time to do heaps of small ones

with our schedule its more once a week. some of the smaller thanks get more though cuse its less of hassle and not a two person job but the bigger tanks needs to people and we are not alwas able to do it 2-3 a week.

I've always done once a week large water changes no problems at all

Depends on the tank for me, my 150G and 100G both get 30% waterchanges twice a week. My 55G and 15G I dont suspect will need waterchanges more than twice a month due to live plants and lower stock.

i try to maitain a 30% water change schedule weekly, or atleast bi-weekly

I've been doin 35-45% WC's once a week... or sometimes when im really busy, i'll do it bi-weekly.

My poor 15 is so overstocked(Mom and lil sis's tank actually) I change 3 gallons a day with a gravel cleaner. Is this detrimental to the fish it seems invasive to move their stuff around to vacuum daily

once a week doing a big water change is the usual, especially on the larger tanks.
