    Today's poll is to see how well you maintain your tanks and how well you treat your fish by providing them with fresh quality water .

    Twice a week.
    Bi-weekly means once every second week.
    Semi-weekly means twice a week.

    Surprised no one responded to monthly water changes . I know of one person who does that.....me! Well, not my own tank...but within the household. It's thriving and BNP's are productions

    I have discus, a python water changer and a 'spare bathroom' to keep the python hooked up permanently plus natural gas hot water on demand so the household dosen't run out of hot water so I am able to do daily 2 X 50% water changes in my 210 gallon and 1 X 50% water changes in my 72 gallon.
