Hello everyone,

I do 25-30% water changes every other day on all my tanks. I use the tank water for my plants and trees. I do a 50% water change every 2 weeks. Is this a good idea? My nitrates are low, but I'm more concerned about stresses to the fish. Will the constant disturbances cause them to stress out more?

Sure, you can never do too many water changes!

I don't see any problem with what your doing as long as the fish don't seem stressed by it.
I do 50% weekly and filter cleaning every 4 weeks

On most of my tanks I do 75% weekly & when I had discus & goldfish (separate tanks) they got 90% weekly. Some discus breeders do 100-200% daily.
