What would be the ideal time in doing this, 2-3 weeks or it depends the condition of your fish and aquarium, as well as the acidity, pH level, sick fish, etc.

Hi, I generally do a 20% water change once a week. This not only gets rid of ammonia/nitrites but also helps keep the water from getting too hard. I think you'll find that if you set up a regular schedule it will be easier to maintain your tanks.

Hi KC,
A good idea, I will try to have a routine schedule and maybe I'll start by tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion.

I change about 25% every few weeks.
