    Just out of curiousity, how often does all of you do water change ?

    Most people suggest to change 1/4 of the tank water weekly... but I thought that after the bacteria convert those NH4 and NO and NO2 to NO3... they are for the plants to absorb them...

    Mine 2ft...weekly 10-20% water changed.

    Once in a while when I do major re-aquascaping like uprooting... then I will do more than 50% water change.

    10% everyweek, sometimes once every two week.

    But I like to add that the water evaporate pretty quickly in my tank so it's like changing 20%-25% like that.
