I have a 10gal that has been up for about 2 weeks now. I was wondering how ofen do I do a water change & everytime I do a water change do I have to vaccum the gravel as well? I only have 2 fish in there.
 
Is the tank cycled? If not, you might need to do really frequent water changes (*like every other day or more!). If the tank is cycled, most people do at least 20% once a week and vacuum at the same time. Why not kill 2 birds with one stone :D . I do 50% a week on my 10g, its so small, it is easy to do and keeps the tank very healthy.
 
The tank is cycled I used a sponge filter that I took out of my 29gal & some gravel & a couple of rocks & tested the water last night. No ammonia or nitrite & nitrates are low. I guess I'll go with a 50% a week. thank for the info.
