Fish Fanatic
I know this sounds dumb, but is there really a reason to do a water change once you have a established tank that is well planted?
My 30gallon square has been running for 4months with fish being introduced 3months ago.
My ammonia is 0 my nitrate is 0 my nitrite is 0.1, and this is after 3 weeks without doing a water change.
I did one this morning of course but for the future is there really a need to do weekly water changes instead of monthly just to clean the filter?
My bioload is 10 ember tetras 1 female juvenile gourami 5 cory (is it cory or cories for plural) and a medium sized mystery snail.
I don't mind doing water changes but wasting 25l of water every 2 or so weeks is not so appealing.
