I do about 20 gallons weekly in my 55, but it'll depend on how many/big your fish are, if it's cycled, yadda, yadda, yadda...

Bichers are highly addictive. Prehistoric looking, full of attitude, what's not to love?

Hi Mike! Welcome to Petfish  wave

You know if you have the type of tank made famous by Diana Walstad, you could get away with water changes once a year.

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional

Greetings & salutations! Welcome to Petfish! Just to let you know I am the only sane one around here.

In general I too also change roughly 20g a week & sometimes more. As one of crazies pointed out, it really all depends on your current setip.

Get your facts first! Then you can distort them as you please.You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way & the only way, it does not exist.
