hi guys
I have upgrade my wc change system (pump in and out water, and barrel for filtering, aging and buffer) so that i could do WC for an hour for change 360 liter of aquarium (with almost similar PH and temperature) i've done this coz my water is really bad..i'm using well water but my nitrate already 40 ppm, but its plenty and no de chlor needed..
my data is 360 liter for 6 ranchu and feed with saki and hikari lionhead 6 to 7 times a day.filtration with 7 sponge filter (3 double stack and 1 single sponge) with 2 airpump and OHF 1200 liter and hour with fine white sponge mat..
For the best growth which is the best schedule??

1.WC 100% every monday, wednesday,friday and saturday (done this for 2 weeks and fish are fine..)
2.WC 100% every wed and sunday, then do 50% on Monday,tuesday,thursday,friday and saturday
3.WC 80% every day

Your feeding is massive ; since you have well water which if free, why not do a continuous drip overflow system . biggrin.gif

Else perhaps 100% change every 5 days.

Thx for the reply CP
Not massive lah.. I read that there are people doing 11 feeding per day, but still have to watch for the belly..
It cross my mind for the continous overflow system but my aquarium is the living room as it will be messy and dont want to drill my aquarium right now..
why change it every 5 days? Isn't the more the merrier? I'm doing 100% WC 4 times a week due to high nitrate in my well water..but what i'm concerning is that if i over stress the fish this way..sometimes i envy people who get a zero nitrates in their well/ tap water..
Another question, does anyone have junko Frozen Blood Worm? The date printed on the foil is expired date or production date? Its written 201005
The LFS owner told me its new but the worms are in bad shape..

Thx a lot!

If you enjoy doing it certainly the more the merrier ; every 5 days is my rough estimation based on your bioload.
