Actually I would much prefer to change 100% each time but lazy to net the fish out.
So I usually siphon the water all the way to the min depth that can still contain the fish,which is abt 20% of the tank water.So change only 80%. But would like to advise begineers reading this that you can do that only if your stocking level is on the low side and you know that the nitrate levels are kept under control. |
