How often and how much water are you changing

Fry Lover · #1 07-05-2008, 09:34 AM

Coldwater / Tropical only

At the moment, what's your water change routine like?

First part of poll is how often, 2nd part of poll is how much water

So please vote twice, percentages of water change are just to get a rough idea (please click on two boxes then sumbit vote)

Cheers

I do them less frequently but in bigger amounts of water.

I think ideally in a perfect world with different circumstances I'd like to do small and often.

I'll admit it, I'm pretty lazy when it comes to water changes. 10-15% every fortnight or so. All the fish are doing well and some are breeding, so I've got no need to do more.

Sleep lover you are lucky mate, i had to be at work for 6 am this morning (saturday).

It isnt very often i get the oppertunity to do water changes on my tanks so i change bigger amounts less often.
