Aquarium Maintenance / By

It’s a common misconception that you can never change your water too often or that too much water changes can be harmful to your fish. The truth is, there is no set rule for how often to change your aquarium water. It depends on a variety of factors, including the size of your tank, the number of fish you have, and what type of filtration system you’re using.

That said, it’s generally a good idea to do a partial water change (about 25%) once a week. This will help to remove any built-up toxins in the water and keep your fish healthy. If you have a larger tank or more fish, you may need to do more frequent water changes. And if you have a very efficient filtration system, you may be able to get away with changing your water less often.
