water changes how often? and how much

[cyberbeer65]

I just leave enough water that the fish aren't on dry land

Same here,once a week with both my tanks.

I try to do 25% once a week, but my wife often gives me other things to do so it’s more like 30%-40% every-other week.

my 75 gal angel /discus tank gets 90 gallon water change weekly(30 gallons 3xweek)
the 55 gets 30 weekly the 20 gets 15 weekly

the 75 takes the longest so I do water changed almost everyday the 55 and 20 on the days when I am not changing the 75.

the discus are young and need lots of water changes. even at 90 weekly it's a bit in the conservative side..once the discus get full size I may cut back just a bit.

:coffee2:

Both of my tanks get a 25% water change every week. I've got a lot of plants & the new water adds macronutrients for them, as well as clearing out old toxins. Plus, it gives me a chance to get hands on & play with my fish. The endlers peck me, & my betta bites my finger (or the hose) and chases it around the tank. It's our "quality time" together.

I do one about once every 2 years.. dont need to do water changes. Fish are fine, I have an oscar in a 10 gallon and he has been happy in there with no water changes..






hmm.. that was a joke, do it every week and dont ever put an oscar in a 10 gallon.

I do a 30% every week

 

[ROLLIN]

On average I change water twice a week, usually about 50% (sometimes more) each time. Even tanks with low bio-loads (ie: a betta in a 10 gallon) I still change about 30% or so a couple times a week just to stay in the habit. If a tank is having a problem, I change some water every day.

Not even when he needs a bath? :dive2:

'Bout the same as most folks here, 30-60% weekly (unless a tank needs more). I try to really stay on top of water quality as I love my fish.

Oh with that, I toss in bubble soap.. he loves bubble baths.
