water changes

[bruce 1]

What % water change do you do each week? or bi-weekly?

I have to admit that I'm pretty slack... 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.

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.
