50% where got enough. 95-100% weekly and 2 of my blue tubs 3-4 days full change. The rest of the 100L discus tanks, every day twice change. wah piang ... water is cheap !

Wah, hoh miah, no need to work.

What is a discus tank, or do you mean you keep discus as well?

wake up early change water, go work, come home change water. ya, i breeding discus. important is how u design the system to change fast.

like some fishes, water storage will be important. drain the tank, open another tap to flow the stored water then let it auto fill thru the piping network lor. tanks also need to be redesign to allow bottom draining instead of using hose. go mainland and look at how they setup their tanks. u will get the idea.

anyway, for goldfish, i use a larger diameter hose. drain down real fast and not wasting time at all. a blue tub only takes less than 5 mins to drain, 10 mins to fill. by the time u half fill 1 tub, i can switch to fill another tub which already drained. within an hour, i can drained off all my tanks and another hour to fill up all.

that's my weekly workout.

Wow! You must be pumping your discus very hard to change water twice daily. So all your discus very big and solid ones? Can post some picture in "others" forum to see see or not?

Back to goldfish, can we change water like what we are doing for the discus? Can the goldfish take the massive water change?
