Water changes

[Passionate 4 pikes]

How many water changes do you do? i am supposed to do 50% water changes a day but since i have been sick routines have flown out the door, excuses excuses excuses...

50% a day? That is amazing and expensive (if you're purifying your water). I get in about 25%-40% about once a week or two. But I run on the lighter side of stocking my tanks.

 

[jcardona1]

50% every week for me...

I change about 25% twice a week in my small tank with a small Tigrinus.RO water is used with a 4ppm tds. My 240 gal. tank gets about 10% twice a week with the same 4ppm tds water. a 26" shovel nose is in that one. Can't kill that fish.

anywhere from 50% every 2 weeks to 2gph. It depends on the tank really.

i chose 100% a week as i do 4 x 25% a week , but have big bio load

Yeah I fall in the %50 3 times a week... ish I guess... since I will usually do at the least 3 Times a week... I've done 7 days a week aswell though... depends on the tank, Bioload, Filters attached, whats happening in the tank.

75% A WEEK

33% a month.

Most my tanks get a 50% once every 7 to 10 days depending on the tank. I do have one tank that I do a 50% and a 33% each week.

Actually your doing about a 67% water change every week.
