Aquarium Advice Regular
First, a heartfelt thanks to everybody who helped me to cycle my tank, in particular jlk and Librarygirl, without whose help I'd have fallen into various newbie pitfalls and would have become very frustrated with the whole aquarium setup!
So now that I'm cycled and have fish, some questions about maintenance:
1. How often should I check chemistries now? I began adding fish this past Saturday.
2. I've seen recommendations for PWC ranging from 15 to 20% every 3 to 4 days to 50% once a week, and so on. Since most BB is in the filter, is there really any danger to the fish if doing large WC as I have read in some places? What is the recommended schedule of WC and how much?
