Hey guys. So I just started a second job where I go to this business and take care of the tanks. I need some advice on some of them. So first off here is what they have (I am not 100 % sure of tank sizes)
Tank 1 is a 280 with 3 HUGE koi about 20" give or take and 2 huge silver dollars. About 7"
They keep it at about 75 degrees.
This tank runs an FX5 and an FX6
-how often should I be doing a water change? I am adding air stones today.
I've only been working this will be my third week. So I have been doing 2 water changes a week. (Use a garbage can that's about 35 gallons)
I do 2 of those at a time.
I have the api test strips but I can't really tell the difference between the colors.
*another thing to note is that I've never worked with tanks this big I'm used to 50 ish and pet store tanks.
**they do not use any water conditioner or cycle. Nothing is added to the water. They do not want anything added to the water
Is there anything I acan add to the filters to help? They have said they will get me whatever I need.
