How much water do you remove with your water changes and how often do you do wc?

Hi all just a general thought on water changes.

Was wondering how often and what percentage of water changes do we all do on a regular basis.

Me personally I do a 25% wc on Wednesdays and a 20% wc on Sundays.

My Tiger barbs need the best cleanest water quality.

And also what species you keep in your tank as different species need more or bigger water changes.

Come on guys this should be a good read.:10msspx:

 

I do a 50% wc on Mondays .:smile1:

 

50% every 2 weeks

 

week 1 and 3 - 50%
week 2 and 4 - 50% plus sump/canister flush

 

25% - 40% (depending on which tank) Water change/once a week between 23h00 and 02h00 :laugh:

 

What fishes do you keep?

 

@hviviers75
Threadfin rainbows
German blue ram
Cory catfish
Cherry barb
Yellow-Tailed Congo Tetra
Neon tetra

 

In different tanks or in a community tank? Nice variety dude.

 

They will be living in the same tank in the future.

 

50% every Sunday

 

Are you down scaling or getting one huge monster tank?

 

Cool what fishes do you keep in your tank do you do 50% wc on all your tanks?

Cool dude.

I think I will also get myself a 3foot or a 4 foot in december.

 

Normally I do 25% once a week. However, I have been a terrible fish mom lately and haven't done the 280L in about a month and it's still looking really clean and all the fish seem really happy. I'll clean it today though... Been so busy >.<

 

Yes, 50% on all. New planted tank I'm on the 50% change every 3 days.
300l - 5 Angels, 8 Sterbas Cories, 1 Krib
200l - 2 Kribs, 5 Synodontis nigriventris
400l - 2 Oscars, 3 Synodontis eupterus

Sometimes when life is too busy we may skip a week, then we do a bigger water change the next week.

 

3ft Tanganican tank - 50% once a week
4ft Rainbow tank with 3ft sump - 30% every second week
Both are planted tanks which must defenately help with the water quality

 

50% each Sunday on my 4ft planted. Minimal WC on my river tank. Mostly top-up.

 

50% weekly (Saturday)

 

25% Wednesday and 25% Saturday.
