How many people actually do their water changes?

[psusocr1]

on my reef tank i do a 10% change every week and on my FOWLR i do one 30% every month

 

[boozzbro]

25% every other weekend

 

[2563]

10% every saturday. Does anyone else enjoy clening their tank(s)?

 

[petjunkie]

Yep, 15% once a week, the day varies depending on my schedule but I like the way it looks all clean, the rest of the week I don't even use the magfloat unless it's really bad.

 

[sea slug]

80% once a month, using a gravel vac

 

[scubaguy]

I do 10% every week and then on the fourth I do 30%

 

[arandacole]

We try to do them every week - so we religiously do them every 2 weeks

10% everyweek, give or take a day. In reef tanks as I don't want to be testing for cal. and etc all the time and dosing with this and that.
25% on 150g monthly. It is so much easier to maintain then the smaller ones, I don't even test the water that much on it, course there is only 3 fish in there.

Right now anyway.
Always checking water in reefs as want to keep corals happy. :cheer:

 

[jrthomas40]

20-25% every other week

 

[dragonzim]

15% or so every other week

 

[rbrockm1]

i do 10% every thursday or friday. not saturday cause its buckeye day and i don't miss for anything

 

[kjord97]

i do 15% every week, i mix salt friday night, change on sat morning 3 tanks 125 gal reef 48 gal reef and 29 gal reef.

 

[milomlo]

10% weekly. Trying to go to biweekly though

 

[mrdc]

Well so far 20+% are bad (the post above) which is higher than I thought it would be.

 

[whitey_028]

I try but sometimes just dont make it..

 

[flpriest]

About 15% every other Tues. On both of my tanks.

 

[topfins-mj]

I change 7 gallons every week or so on my 46. I had a spike in phosphates when I didn't change my water for a month. So now it became a weekend thing, if I miss it then I do it the next evening that I have free. So i try to keep the weekly schedule.
It helps reduce the need to test for all kinds of parameters.

 

[fishgeek01]

10% once a week on my 75 reef, on sundays right before i watch my indy colts go for another WIN
Number 8 against the patriots this weekend hopefully

 

[hatessushi]

IMO the "yes...almost always" choice is misleading in that it indicates that well sometimes I forget. there should be another choice that says "Yes...all the time" or as scheduled, or just yes.

I do 8 gallon water changes on my 55 gallon every Friday night. I mix the water on Monday night (during halftime of Monday Night Football), and when I get off of work I relax for awhile, pour myself a rum and coke and change the water and do any cleaning that needs to be done.
