How often is recommended to do partial water change and full change?
 
You should never do a full change EVER! You should change 25% of the water once a week.
 
Ok will do a 25% next week, do I need to add drops? Or will it be ok
 
Drops of what? Water conditioner? You will need to add water conditioner every time you do a water change. The directions are on the bottle.
 
Its called sechem you put it in for ammonia, nitrate (both) bacteria etc its to make tap water safe for fish, so I need a conditioner now then? I thought I just add that as added 8 drops for my tank
 
Sorry its called prime by seachem it removes chlorine,chloramine,ammonia and detoxifies nitrate & nitrite and provides slime coat
 
Yes! That's great, you add a little bit if that to the new water when you do a water change.
 
Someone just told me its no good for doing water change only on set up as not a conditioner gosh confused lol
 
What is the best temperature for a community fish tank? Mine is at 26 is that to low?
