I have a 5 gallon aquarium. After 3 months of trying to get my water perfect I finally have good levels for everything. What I am curious is that when doing partial water changes I'm curious how much water I should change for a established aquarium? I've been doing about 25-30% once a week since July. Now that my water is clean and good, should I do smaller water changes, or is 25-30% still good?

Thanks for the help,
Mike
 
I do 50% weekly in all my tanks... two of them would probably be fine with a 10-15% change, but I like to make sure they've got nice clean water... If 25-30% is working for you, I see no reason to change that
 
like mfd said if thats works for you keep at it. though like mfd i like 50% water changes.

whats perfect water levels?
