I do once a week, different amount but always 25% and over. Sometimes I throw in a extra change if my kids aren't throwing tantrums. :)

It depends a lot on the tank. I do lots of water changes on unplanted tanks and heavily fed fry tanks. I do far less on heavily planted and lightly populated colony breeding tanks. Most of my tanks fall between and I change water in them about once every week or two.

Our tank seems to be doing well on a once weekly - 10 days water change, I change about 1/3 to 1/2 the water and clean the sponge in the filter in the water that we've removed.
