so now i have had my baby reds for a week now is the time too change the water so wat shoud i do i kno i take out 30-50% of the water and add new water but do i need too dd more water conditioner in after i add new water
 
you definitely need to add conditioner to the new water during water changes. i always add the water conditioner before i fill the tank back up and i'm a big fan of prime, so if you don't have any conditioner yet, that's what i would recommend
 
Yeah you should always add the conditioner to the new water before you do a water change, and especially since you appear to have RBPs, you're going to need to give them extra attention as far as tank maintenance goes.
 
ok so before i take any waterout too change water add conditioner and then take 50% out and add conditioner
or take 50% of the water out add conditionerthen add water bak in and add more conditioner and how often do i need too change water
 
you only need to add water conditioner before you put water back in the tank. you should change out around 50% once a week or you can perform a few smaller changes within the week, it's up to you
 
you want the water to be as close to the temp of your tank as possible, so if you're using a bucket, check the temp with a thermometer or just judge by touch if you can as you're filling it up
