Water Change Regimines?

[Darth Scohin]

I see recently that many people are either worried they will Kill/Remove their BB if you do more than 30% (Yes a 30% WC is too much, to some people-NOT ME-)What do you think are the best WC % that you use? What would you avoid?

PS: this was sparked by the WC Article in TFH

Usually try to do 30% water changes weekly, but not always possible. Then I do 50% if it has been two weeks

30 to 50% once a week works for me. And my fish.....

 

[uncwnells]

25-30% each week.

You're suppose to change out the water?!!

You're choices were poorly chosen. I change 50%+ every week or two.

 

[cichlid2006]

i do 50-75% every two weeks.

It depends what your goal is by doing water changes? Removing/reducing nitrates? Water clarity? Vacuuming solids from the substrate? Using a a test kit to monitor nitrates will let you know how much and how often to do water changes.
