Water changes and filters every 2-4 weeks. Everything else when I look in the tank and see that it needs to be done (plant pruning, algae buildup on walls etc.).

Weekly vacuum of Gravel (Pets at home do a batt op multi vac for about £11 also comes with an algae scraper attachment but not tried this yet)
Weekly Water Change
Pruning of plants as needed,
Dropped Leaf collection every other day if needs be.
Cleaning of filter material fortnightly
 
i do a 20% water change every fridays with a gravel vac . i also do a 2gallon water change on Monday.

I also trim down any plants and remove any dead leaves on the Friday and clean the inside of the glass to help stop algae returning.


:D :nod:
 
With my Betta tank I do a 20% water change everyday.
My 20gal and 10gal get 3 water changes a weeks of 20%.
And last my 35gal gets 2 water changes a week of 30%.
The gavel of each tank gets cleaned once a week.
Dead plants get picks up everytime one seems to be dying on the plant.
Prunning done only when needed.
Filters get cleaned every 2 weeks.
Lights only get changed when needed.

...I think that's it :blink: ... :lol:
 
Tanks with large/predatory fish, 10% water change and vacume midweek and a 30% water change and vacume on the weekend, i scrape algea off the front glass monthly or whenever it needs it and clean filters every 3 months.

Tanks with small/medium sized fish, 20% water change and vacume on the weekend, algea scrape monthly or when needed and filter cleans every 3 months.

Tanks with fry or breeding pairs, 5% water change and vacume daily, filters cleaned when needed, algea not removed until critical.

just a question
how often does the light need to be changed? is it every 6 months?
It depends on the type of light you have... 6 months is the approx time (I think -_- well it's the approx time I change my lights) but again it depeneds on the light.
