I'm still looking for ways to clean up the old tank syndrome and found a dandy tools I think most fish keepers will use. I have not tested it as I'm looking into filter media for a solution without building a 7 foot by 4" anaerobic filter. However the 5gallon bucket filter looks good. Bucket+Media+Powerhead=Bucket Filter. You can do the same thing with a coke bottle.
Anyways, here the water change calculator. Full credit given to it's creator.

I was playing with the numbers. First to reduce the dirt slowly over 30 days to the level I wish to maintain the tank and then changed the numbers to control the level. The only variable I can't pin down is how much dirt the fish add every day.
Good Luck and Happy Fish Keeping!
