Cleaning my tank?

[stevennosti]

Once my 10 gallon tank is fully cycled how often should i clean/siphon my tank?

I would suggest once a week. What stock are you planning?

Also, will you have gravel or sand? Planted?

I have gravel, currently i have a moss ball thing and my tank is still cycling....I messed up and did not do any research and i was unaware of what cycling was.....i went out and bought 2 neon tetras, 2 cory cats, 3 cardnial tetras and 3 others whose names i do not know, i know this is over stocked but i have been doing the water changes and taking good care of the fish...

Okay. So after the tank is cycled, I would suggest 50% weekly.

You're going to want to siphon the gravel and change the water about 40-50% once a week imo. Maybe more if you can, there's nothing wrong with healthy water. Whatever it takes to keep the nitrates below 10.
