Regarding water changes, how often?

1-2 times a week (usually 1)

300L approx each change (35-40%)

[parasite]

Daily water changes,

approx 200ltr

[Proteus]

to get more of an idea of what everyone really does...

post approx litres changed as well...

since the bigger the tank the less changes are needed (but in return, bigger water changes are needed)

[lesley]

In litres, don't know - too much!!! I generally now do every second day approx 8" from the top of the tank. I found that mine did not like waiting for a longer period and then doing a larger change. I do have unstable water though, so larger changes affect them more.

I change 50 litres once every two weeks on a 430 litre display tank. I have used this method for about 12 months now and the discus are doing fine. i never expect them to breed in these conditions, but they seem happy, healthy and are growing well.
