Water Change?

Agreed but twice week. Just seems overkill. But hey if the OP has the time and money by all means go for it, it's not like it's hurting the fish.

For most fish one water change of 25 to 30% a week is good. Alot of discus keepers though do more and bigger.

Wow 50 - 75% bi-weekly on a 210G.

I don't mind the draining on my tank but puttin 125 gallons back in takes like twenty minutes here with our water pressure. I find myself wandering away after like 10 minutes, one day I might get sidetracked

I am not sure the planted fuge removes enough hormones or other baddies we do not test for but it does a pretty good job keeping the trAtes down to us only having to do WC's every two weeks. Our F. Rostratus got to 12" in one year so I believe he is ok with our schedule.
