Water Changes

[dvs]

I have a 72 gal bow front (it's not set up yet.. waiting to move to Florida) Anyways, I was wondering how often I should do water changes and how many gallons I should change at a time. Thanks in advance

i do a 10% change every 2 weeks, but different people do different changes.

I was thinking maybe 15 gal every 3 weeks.

I do 10% per month. And all is looking great.

always make sure you premix the water a day before you plan on doing the water change... let it sit in a rubbermaid, or some sort of container with a powerhead to aerate it for atleast 24 hours...

Thanks Slothy. The guy at my LFS said once I had it mixed just dump it in there. Theyre such idiots! I hate Louisville!
