is a 25% water change to little for my tank? im really tired of 50%'s. how many gallons is 25% by the way?

Yup. If you're that sick of it though, you could always do two 25's a week instead. I'd just stick with the 50. And 25% of 29 is 7.25 gallons.

 

[allaboutfish]

see thatd probabaly be better. bc 50% is like 6 buckets and 25% is like 3. what 2 days though?

 

[allaboutfish]

any ideas on making my filter less powerful? other then bottles?

 

[homedog98]

I'd go Tuesday Thursday or something along those lines... But I doubt it matters. And remember... I do a 50 weekly on my 29 too, and my ten. It's not that bad really lol.

how r u sick of only taking out 15 gallons, try doing 40 gallons on my tank

If u want, do the 2 25% like homedog said

but yeah, 2 25s would be easier, just get 2 home depot buckets, fill one with water while u drain the tank with the other, and by the time ur done, the other bucket of fresh tap water is full, thats how i do it,

i drain through my window onto my rose bushes(they love the fish crap), and then fill 2 totes with water while i siphon out the crap, and then by the time i am done, i fill buckets via totes, and it only takes 15 min
