What % h2o change do u do?

p 45 - is the water not too cold when you change 90%? Or do you have 10 heaters all lying on the bottom of the tank?

I change 25% weekly. My water is always clear and nitrates low. I use stress coat and stress zyme.

i keep my tank temps in the low 70s, which isn't something i recommend, but I've gotten tired of having to combine cold hosewater with hot sinkwater to get a warmer consistent temp. altho in the winter i often have to do the latter practice anyway.

LOL!!! I keep my temps in the lower 80s....around the 82/84 range....fish seem happier at that temp.....lowest i try to keep my tankz is 76...but i try to stay away from that....

30-70 percent 3 times in 9 days

water amount changed has to do with the current stock

temp is 82 MAX for my fish, anything higher then that and you start severely depriving the water of oxygen

ive gone down to the 70's and noticed fish get "mad" and refuse to eat or are less active/grow slower

Yeah, I've got some powerheads in there to help add some extra oxygen to the water...

30% every 10 -14 days seems to be ok for me I have a life so I cant get to it everyday or couple days.. Fish seem to be healthy
