I typically do one a month, unless testing shows levels too high in nitrates and phosphates (meaning detectable on my non lab grade Elos/Salifert/Seachem tests). Obviously undetectable doesn't mean zero, but I don't fear high numbers. I should really do better. I usually change between 15-20%. Now that the poll is up, I voted. Sorry I typed a whole explanation. :) BuddyRo 04-27-2011, 11:07 PM I'm do 30g's bi-weekly on my 120g. This is my 5th tank and just invested in a RODI less then 2mths ago...:doh:... IMO,The most effective filtering method... Period!!! Hnguyen 04-27-2011, 11:48 PM I do about 15% every week. When My 60 cube was up. I'd do 10 gallons per week. Now with the 93, I play on doing 15 gallons per week. I seem to get good results with this routine. vicbay 04-28-2011, 4:19 AM none. (i know whats coming. be gentle y'all) at least not since October last year anyway sry. didnt have that in your poll mysterybox 04-28-2011, 7:14 AM 30% every 10 days to 2 weeks.... JeF4y 04-28-2011, 8:22 AM 25% every 2-3 weeks. mapleredta 04-28-2011, 9:17 AM Roughly 30% weekly. gmpolan 04-28-2011, 9:49 AM Roughly 15 percent weekly considering im gone mon thru thursday every week, maybe its a comfort thing |
