I too use a python, however I only do 30~40% waterchanges once a week on all my tanks. I don't know what I'd do without my PYTHON...I would probably have two "pythons" from liftung those darned heavy buckets! lol
WATER CHANGES: How much/often?
- Thread starter piranha45
- Start date
at the moment due to the amount of fish in my 180g my water changes are 15g a couple of times a week (to remove the crap) and 30-40% every 2-3 weeks but i have only 3 small fish in it when i was fully stocked i was doing 15g every day except when i was doing 40-50% 1 day a week.
all the other tanks get changed 20% every week it takes 2-3 hours and is done by 2 people me included.

I have always taken only 30-40 percent out at a time. I do water changes once a week. However, close friends of mine have different methods and all three of ours seem to work. One does water changes once a week changing close to 85 percent. The other friend hasn't done a water change in over a year and his fish look healthier that mine. Try a variety of methods and find what works best for your fish. If your current method is working, stick with it!
50% a week in the tanks and the carp pond. I probably don't need to do so much but it doesn't hurt. 50% every other day on the drum with the knives and jack dempsey until I get more water patched in for them (which is getting frustrating I found out my fiberglass resin is toast and by the time I got back home from getting more it was too late do do anything).
