water testing

[hle_81]

How often do you test the water parameters in your tank?

 

[jus1time]

at thye very least, once a week

 

[OscarRobinson]

Once a week right before a water change.

I test nitrates and pH weekly before each water change. I will randomly test one or two of my tanks for ammonia or nitrites each week. I also test my tap water weekly. If I add or change anything in any of the tanks I then increase testing up to daily if needed.

These are all established tanks and it works well for me. Tanks that are newly set up you should test more often.
