I need to get into the habit of doing 40L water changes every week, I think.

Replies dreamerofoz Posted at 3:31 pm on Nov. 17, 2008 Seems like it, unfortunately. blufindr Posted at 12:39 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from dreamerofoz at 7:31 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 "Biowheel"? I feel dumb for not knowing... It's basically a wheel that turns to produce a current. At the same time, it accumulates helpful, waste-eating bacteria. Helps keep the aquarium clean, but they're a bitch to maintain. dreamerofoz Posted at 12:31 am on Nov. 16, 2008 "Biowheel"? I feel dumb for not knowing...

You should never change the full amount of water only when you completely clean it out which shouldnt be very often! Should clean it out without taking it out and change only 2/3 of the water in there... I cant remember why exactly but its something about the chemicals in the water and the fish getting used to it or something along those lines Actually, it's a 180L tank. So I'm only changing like a fifth of the water. It's to do with bacterial levels in the water.

I really want to change the type of filter I use. The one I have isn't cutting it, as it gets very dirty in a week easily. Yeah, I know. I need to get a BioWheel soon, I think. And more bottom feeders. My family has a habit of overfeeding my fishes barnabas Posted at 1:00 am on Nov. 15, 2008 Quote: from blufindr at 2:57 am on Nov. 15, 2008 Quote: from barnabas at 7:57 pm on Nov. 15, 2008 Thats a lot of water. Not really. Not when you consider that it's a 180L tank. ...I always do that with liters... thats not that much water. NM.

She said it was an 180L tank and was changing 40L. Wheeldon Posted at 12:59 am on Nov. 15, 2008 Ok... I suppose thats a big tank, you can kinda ignore my comment then :) Haha Most recent 15 of 20 previous replies displayed.
